Clarinetist22's Ballot for Week 15 of 2021-22| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Arizona
|
Dominating the PAC 12, the only clear favorite. |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
Move to the PAC 12 already, they’re destroying the WCC. |
| 3 |
Kentucky
|
Everyone else lost, so… |
| 4 |
Purdue
|
Here me out here. So many ranked teams lost, at least they had a big win against Illinois. Also Jalen Ivey. |
| 5 |
Baylor
|
Big win over Texas. |
| 6 |
Auburn
|
I had Auburn at #4, and was criticized relentlessly. Who’s laughing now? |
| 7 |
Texas Tech
|
Winning the in the BIG 12 is good enough to move up to #7. |
| 8 |
Kansas
|
Big win over Texas. I guess that’s enough? |
| 9 |
Villanova
|
Senior team with two solid wins? Sure, top 10. Only in this economy. |
| 10 |
Duke
|
I’m still confident they could make a deep run in march, and more certain I didn’t know who else to put here. |
| 11 |
Providence
|
DePaul gave em a real run, but this team is still on top of the Big East. |
| 12 |
Illinois
|
Losing to the #4 team on the road barely counts as a loss. Sweet 16 is definitely on the horizon. |
| 13 |
Tennessee
|
Winning is enough to move up. Neither was particularly meaningful. |
| 14 |
Houston
|
Houston is a fraud. Losing twice in a terrible AAC is a bad sign. 4 seed at best. |
| 15 |
Wisconsin
|
Wisconsin > MSU, but Rutgers > Wisc, and Rutgers > MSU. Yet Rutgers is the only one not ranked by ESPN. |
| 16 |
UCLA
|
USC has their number, but I figured more than 5 spots was just unfair. |
| 17 |
USC
|
Just keep winning, just keep winning… |
| 18 |
Ohio State
|
They beat Michigan, who beat Purdue, who beat Ohio St… it’s a circle of suck. |
| 19 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 20 |
Marquette
|
|
| 21 |
Arkansas
|
DOWN GOES #1 |
| 22 |
Murray State
|
|
| 23 |
Rutgers
|
Wins over two ranked teams, and now Illinois on Wed at the RAC. They are quickly heating up. |
| 24 |
Wyoming
|
RANK EM |
| 25 |
Ohio
|
I said it last week too; don’t count these guys out. |
