byzantiums's Ballot for Week 15 of 2021-22| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Gonzaga
|
(=) No real reason for this not to be unanimous. |
| 2 |
Arizona
|
(=) Is their remaining schedule worse than the Zags'? Probably. |
| 3 |
Kentucky
|
(+1) Has "Kentucky wins but TyTy Washington suffers injury" has been the headline once a month all year? |
| 4 |
Auburn
|
(-1) I didn't drop them for the loss, I dropped them because they're a terrible road team. |
| 5 |
Villanova
|
(+7) This isn't a resume ranking, don't care about this being too big of a jump. |
| 6 |
Kansas
|
(-1) Quickly catching up to Tennessee as the least interesting ranked team. |
| 7 |
Duke
|
(-1) Closed the week with 2 comfortable wins, but just looked disinterested against a bad Virginia team. |
| 8 |
Baylor
|
(+8) Weird team! |
| 9 |
Illinois
|
(-1) Underwood takes home the worst coaching performance of the week award for that 2nd half against Northwestern. |
| 10 |
Wisconsin
|
(+1) One bad game, one good game. Let's say they cancel out. |
| 11 |
Purdue
|
(-2) Feel right about having been low on them last week. Inconsistent effort and something is off with Trevion Williams. |
| 12 |
Texas Tech
|
(-2) Played by far the worst game any ranked team played this week. The box score for the OU game is bad, the game was much worse. |
| 13 |
Houston
|
(-6) Easily the worst week for any ranked team. |
| 14 |
Arkansas
|
NEW. They've played like a borderline top 10 team for 10 games now. |
| 15 |
Providence
|
(=) Exactly one possession better than every bad-to-solid team in the country. Fails the eye test spectacularly. |
| 16 |
Marquette
|
(-3) The loss to UConn was fine. The loss to Butler wasn't. |
| 17 |
Texas
|
(+3) Let go of the hate everyone, they're good. |
| 18 |
UCLA
|
(-4) Jaquez has to be hurt right? |
| 19 |
Michigan State
|
(=) Some mid-major guard is going to drop 35 on this team in March. |
| 20 |
Ohio State
|
(-2) I take back what I said about Kansas and Tennessee, THIS is the least interesting ranked team. By a lot. |
| 21 |
Wyoming
|
(=) MWC tourney is going to be a bloodbath. |
| 22 |
UConn
|
NEW. |
| 23 |
Xavier
|
NEW. |
| 24 |
USC
|
NEW. Mobley was holding this team back! |
| 25 |
Memphis
|
NEW. Extend Penny. |
