TheChr0nic2001's Ballot for Week 12 of 2015-16| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Oklahoma
|
Loss at ISU not damning (ISU very tough at home), and rebounded nicely with win against Baylor |
| 2 |
North Carolina
|
Two wins over middling opponents (Wake, VT) but got the job done |
| 3 |
Iowa
|
This was toughest spot for me (3,4,5 of Iowa, KU, and Nova). Iowa has been lights out and another win over top 25 team allows them to rise |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
Tough loss at Providence in OT |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
Very bad loss at OKST, worst performance of the season by far |
| 6 |
Texas A&M
|
Only unbeaten left in SEC play, we will see if they are for real against ISU |
| 7 |
West Virginia
|
Gritty comeback against TT to salvage a split for this week |
| 8 |
Maryland
|
Maryland played hard against MSU, but the Spartans were desperate. Can't fault MD for MSU's near perfect performance |
| 9 |
Xavier
|
Xavier now nearing the meat of their schedule, can they keep pace with Nova? |
| 10 |
Michigan State
|
Horrid loss at home against Nebraska, but demonstrate how talented they are with win against MD. |
| 11 |
Providence
|
I might be higher on them than most, but supremely talented and an excellent OT win vs Nova |
| 12 |
Iowa State
|
Huge win at Hilton vs OU, need that performance to carry over if they want to make a run at KU |
| 13 |
SMU
|
Perfect season falls flat as Temple too much |
| 14 |
Virginia
|
2 work-man like wins this week |
| 15 |
Miami (FL)
|
2 solid wins to rebound after a poor week, The U staying within reach of ACC top |
| 16 |
Louisville
|
Lackluster performance vs GT but able to finish the job |
| 17 |
Arizona
|
Unspectacular. Solid team, but star power missing to do any serious damage |
| 18 |
Baylor
|
Tough to drop them, but ISU, UL, Providence climbing forced them down |
| 19 |
Indiana
|
Soft Big10 schedule not their fault, IU continues to take care of business |
| 20 |
Purdue
|
Tough loss at Iowa, but still playing well and poised for a run in the Big10 tourney |
| 21 |
Dayton
|
Solid team with exceptional athletes, Miller has the Flyers playing excellent as of late |
| 22 |
Saint Mary's
|
Besides loss at Pepperdine, the Gaels have been a force in the WCC |
| 23 |
Kentucky
|
Takes advantages of losses by Butler, USC, Duke |
| 24 |
Pitt
|
No spectacular wins to go with record, but plenty of chances to improve resume coming up |
| 25 |
South Carolina
|
Tough to measure even with two losses. Too many poor losses by WSU, Valpo, VCU to rank ahead of SC |
