Submitted on Monday, February 14, 2022 at 12:42AM EST
FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Auburn
|
= one OT loss doesn't upturn entire season of success, still undefeated in regulation |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
= Two close games that were closer than they should have been L-W, but keeping them in the 2 spot considering SOS alone |
| 3 |
Providence
|
= team is obviously imbued with a luck charm that is not running out ever |
| 4 |
Arizona
|
= three solid wins against semi-mediocre opposition, but that's the PAC-12 for ya |
| 5 |
Gonzaga
|
= I'm still not over that bama loss, "it just means more (TiMme)" when majority of the schedule is lacking |
| 6 |
Baylor
|
+5 back? superb, dominating win over longhorns |
| 7 |
Purdue
|
= all over the place over the last 3 games, not sure what to think, just like that ending with maryland |
| 8 |
Kentucky
|
+1 wins keep coming, tough, testing stretch ahead in the week ahead against vols and tide |
| 9 |
Wisconsin
|
-3 Hard-fought win against the Spartans, followed up by a meeting with the buzzsaw that is apparently Rutgers now |
| 10 |
Duke
|
-2 loss at home to Virginia |
| 11 |
Tennessee
|
+1 7-1 since last meeting with Kentucky |
| 12 |
Wyoming
|
+2 I still really like Ike, just not against Arizona |
| 13 |
Texas Tech
|
-3 Big L to Sooners, upcoming week schedule gets no easier |
| 14 |
Colorado State
|
+6 back to winning ways after L to Wyoming, and showed great resilience in fighting off resurgent Boise State in OT |
| 15 |
Villanova
|
+3 Two to the good is good |
| 16 |
Alabama
|
+6 Enigma resolving itself? All losses are flukes, all wins are legit. |
| 17 |
Illinois
|
-1 Uninspired 2nd half performance against makers of boilers, face grim reaper scarlet knights next |
| 18 |
Murray State
|
+6 Cannot be beaten by competition (well more head actually had a decent shot), but who exactly is competition again? |
| 19 |
Michigan State
|
-2 Badgered by Badgers |
| 20 |
UCLA
|
-5 Ship is in need of righting after loss to intra-city foe. Can an extinct bear even captain a ship? |
| 21 |
LSU
|
+5 Tacking on two needed wins to bolster that tournament seeding |
| 22 |
USC
|
+15 Took on the largest ocean and barely came out on top, but what a great feat! oh and they beat UCLA (Yes, I rank teams out way past 25) |
| 23 |
Texas
|
+8 2*(Baylor rank - Kansas rank) Does it make sense? Mathematically it's true, so therefore it does. |
| 24 |
Houston
|
-11 Memphis!?! |
| 25 |
TCU
|
+3 Don't sleep on horned frogs... really don't. |
