Toastiify's Ballot for Week 17 of 2021-22
Submitted on Sunday, February 27, 2022 at 11:28PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
2-7 are all incredibly close, I'll try to give my reasoning for the positioning but they're practically interchangable. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Kansas has the best shot to go deep in the tournament. They're talented, experienced, and have the deepest resume in the country. |
| 3 |
Duke
|
None of the other top teams have multiple wins against each other besides Duke, with wins over Gonzaga and Kentucky. That's pretty good. |
| 4 |
Baylor
|
The defending national champs have shown grit by battling thru injuries, but I think they lose to their b12 counterpart more often than not. |
| 5 |
Kentucky
|
Their thrashing of Kansas and game against Auburn (lost TyTy) make me think Kentucky is the best team in the SEC. |
| 6 |
Auburn
|
2nd least impressive resume of the bunch to me with wins over murray and uk, they've only lost close games away from home. 3-3 in last 6 tho |
| 7 |
Arizona
|
Brutal loss to a Colorado team who had just lost to ASU, with their best wins being Illinois and UCLA. Undefeated at home. |
| 8 |
Providence
|
|
| 9 |
Texas Tech
|
|
| 10 |
Villanova
|
Showed amazing fight, continuing to score against momentum on the road. A win would have been great, but I believe in this team. |

Thrashed the 2nd best team in the OVC then almost lost to a mid-tier SEMO?? I was Murray State to the moon but now I'm not so sure. |
