hipsterhipst's Ballot for Week 16 of 2021-22| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Arizona
|
Top 2 are very close but I think Arizona is the best team in the country. Too much size and athleticism |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
Very good team, one of only 3 remaining 2 loss teams |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
Quietly fighting up the rankings since that tough home loss |
| 4 |
Purdue
|
They seem to fluctuate a lot but this was a solid week. |
| 5 |
Villanova
|
My dark horse pick to win it all at this point. |
| 6 |
Duke
|
Duke is still duke |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
Lost to a good team, beat a good team, |
| 8 |
Auburn
|
Lost to a not very good team. |
| 9 |
Texas Tech
|
Solid win moves them up |
| 10 |
Baylor
|
Another tough loss leaves them with some questions, even as good as they are. |
| 11 |
Providence
|
Very close with Illinois but I still think they're the better team |
| 12 |
Illinois
|
Ok week, you can't fault them too hard for the rutgers loss but going 1-1 isn't enough to jump mant teams this week |
| 13 |
Tennessee
|
" |
| 14 |
USC
|
Got the job done but didn't do enough to move up |
| 15 |
UCLA
|
" |
| 16 |
Wisconsin
|
Decent week gives them a bump |
| 17 |
Arkansas
|
Very good week and they jump quite a bit |
| 18 |
Houston
|
After a disastrous 0-2 week they've rebounded well |
| 19 |
Texas
|
Another loss moves them down but not a ton |
| 20 |
Ohio State
|
Losing at home to unranked (but decent) Iowa will hurt your ranking |
| 21 |
Murray State
|
Only other 2 loss team left, granted I can't jump them much due to their unimpressive wins |
| 22 |
UConn
|
Probably should have ranked them last week but they're here now. |
| 23 |
Saint Mary's
|
WCC will be a 3 bid league at best but one of them is going to SMC |
| 24 |
Boise State
|
I really didn't expect to be ranking Boise but with so many losses at the lower end they don't look so bad |
| 25 |
Iowa
|
This was one of the hardest spots to fill all season, so many teams in this area lost this week. But they did get a top 20 road win. |
