Blazeth's Ballot for Week 16 of 2018-19| Rank | Team | Reason |

They're #1 in NET and have a neutral head-to-head over Duke, that's pretty definitive for me |

Houston

Some fun stats for comparison: Houston has won 80% of their Q1 games while Kentucky has only won 73%; Houston has won 100% of all others |
| 6 |
Kentucky

while Kentucky has a Q2 loss to Seton Hall. Houston has a higher SoR; I believe Houston would've beat Tennessee at home as well |
