BigBaller331's Ballot for Week 17 of 2021-22| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
A historic Saturday in which every team ahead of them lost bumps Duke up to #1. |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
A road win over a good San Francisco team helps mitigate the loss @ Saint Mary's. |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
No movement, loss @ #8 Baylor is the best loss of all of Saturday's Top 6 losers. |
| 4 |
Arizona
|
Blowout loss @ Colorado stings and a win @ Utah earlier in the week is not overly impressive. |
| 5 |
Baylor
|
Looked like the Baylor of old in the win vs. #3 Kansas. |
| 6 |
Auburn
|
Tigers have been inconsistent on offense over the past few weeks. |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
Solid win vs. LSU and lost @ #19 Arkansas by 2. |
| 8 |
Purdue
|
Buzzer beater loss @ #24 Michigan State in late February isn't a death sentence by any stretch, but Purdue was putrid offensively. |
| 9 |
Providence
|
2021-22 Big East Regular Season Champs. |
| 10 |
Houston
|
Great rebound after back-to-back losses in early February. |
| 11 |
Villanova
|
Dangerous team, but poor depth has hurt them this season. |
| 12 |
Tennessee
|
Good home win over #4 Auburn. |
| 13 |
Texas Tech
|
Loss @ TCU drops them a few spots, but they will be dangerous in March. |
| 14 |
Wisconsin
|
Solid on both sides of the ball. |
| 15 |
USC
|
USC has rattled off a nice winning streak. |
| 16 |
UCLA

Really good win over #5 Kentucky. |
| 18 |
UConn

Home win over #9 Villanova further confirms what everyone already knew: UConn is legit. |

Sleeping giant. Fully healthy, this team is a serious problem. |
