TheRealFrankLongo's Ballot for Week 11 of 2015-16
Submitted on Monday, January 18, 2016 at 3:09AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Oklahoma
|
This has been the hardest year to rank teams in memory. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Outside of Oklahoma at #1, I have no idea what to do. |
| 3 |
North Carolina
|
I think nine of the top ten teams have apparent flaws. |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
And since Oklahoma doesn't have a deep bench... |
| 5 |
Xavier
|
... anything could happen in a game with them too, potentially. |
| 6 |
West Virginia
|
There are teams with elite defenses. |
| 7 |
Iowa
|
Teams with elite offenses. |
| 8 |
Maryland
|
Very few with what could be considered both. |
| 9 |
Michigan State
|
And weirdly, Kentucky and Duke... |
| 10 |
Texas A&M
|
... both of whom were in my top four coming into the season... |
| 11 |
Baylor
|
... aren't in the Top 25 whatsoever. |
| 12 |
Virginia
|
I still think UK's bigs can figure it out... |
| 13 |
Miami (FL)
|
... and I think Duke will be a real contender with a healthy Amile Jefferson... |
| 14 |
SMU
|
... but neither of those are sure things. |
| 15 |
Purdue
|
I have absolutely no idea what to expect from this point forward. |
| 16 |
Iowa State
|
So if you disagree with some of my placements this week... |
| 17 |
Providence
|
... I won't argue. I'm not terribly passionate about my order. |
| 18 |
USC
|
I feel like these are teams deserving of the top 25 slots... |
| 19 |
Arizona
|
... but it's hard for me to say who I'd favor down the stretch. |
| 20 |
Butler
|
Outside of Oklahoma and Kansas. |
| 21 |
Louisville
|
So... yeah. Those are my comments. |
| 22 |
Pitt
|
Please get well soon, Amile. |
| 23 |
South Carolina
|
I can't take Duke losing 5 out of 6. |
| 24 |
Notre Dame
|
Which very realistically could happen. |
| 25 |
Wichita State
|
I'll just log off for two weeks if it does. |
