brvheart's Ballot for Week 15 of 2015-16| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kansas
|
Beating OU on the road skyrockets you to the top. Favorable remaining schedule, and seem to be a lock for 12th straight conf championship. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
They played two teams with a below .500 record this week. Only beat one of them by 10 at home. Only good win vs. Xavier. Lost to OU by 23 |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
Lost on the road to Duke by 1. (But not really) |
| 4 |
North Carolina
|
Only won @ BC by 3!? |
| 5 |
Iowa
|
Lost on the road to a ranked team by 7. Barely beat a terrible Minnesota team at home. |
| 6 |
West Virginia
|
Lost on the road to #1. Solid road losses haven't been hurting teams on my poll this year. |
| 7 |
Miami (FL)
|
Only beat unranked Pitt by 2 at home. |
| 8 |
Michigan State
|
Road loss @ Purdue by 1. |
| 9 |
Oklahoma
|
Home loss. Can't lose at home. |
| 10 |
Dayton
|
Won both games this week, but they are mainly moving up because of what happened to other teams. |
| 11 |
Kentucky
|
Solid win on the road @ SC |
| 12 |
Xavier
|
Lost solidly on the road to an unranked team. |
| 13 |

Big win against Michigan State at home by 1, followed by a road loss against unranked Michigan. |
| 14 |
Maryland
|
Lost to an unranked team at home. |
| 15 |
SMU

| 16 |
Arizona
|
|
| 17 |
Duke
|
|
| 18 |
Louisville
|
Lost two games this week, but most teams would lose @ Duke and @ND. Both games were close. |
| 19 |
Iowa State
|
Lost on the road by 3 @ unranked TT. Won by 10 against a scary Texas team at home. |
| 20 |
Notre Dame
|
|
| 21 |
St. Joseph's
|
|
| 22 |
Oregon
|
Bad week. |
| 23 |
Providence
|
Providence probably shouldn't be ranked, but I try not to punish teams for road losses. They only beat GU by 3 at home. |
| 24 |
Texas
|
They lost twice this week, but nearly every team in college BB would lose @ OU and @ISU. They were in both games until the very end. |
| 25 |
Cincinnati
|
