CopperWalrus's Ballot for Week 19 of 2016-17| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 3 |
Oregon
|
|
| 4 |
Kentucky
|
Kentucky stayed in their game with North Carolina more than Kansas with Oregon. |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
|
| 6 |
South Carolina
|
Final Four team they definitely proved they deserve a high ranking spot. |
| 7 |
Arizona
|
They should have won against Xavier. If they had played against Gonzaga, it would not have been as one sided |
| 8 |
Florida
|
An exciting win against upsetter Wisconsin, and had to play a game against a conference opponent, in which seedings don't matter as much. |
| 9 |
Xavier
|
I feel they're not getting a lot of respect. Maryland and FSU were easier upsets, but still upsets, and they beat Zona. |
| 10 |
Michigan
|
Their performance in the Big Ten tournament and the dance were amazing. Their close game with Oregon could have seen them in the elite eight |
| 11 |
UCLA
|
They had the toughest road. If they had beaten Kentucky and then UNC, they might have been the national champions. |
| 12 |
Wisconsin
|
The upset against Villanova was incredible. If they had beat Florida, I think they would have had a better chance against South Carolina |
| 13 |
Villanova
|
Lost to a very wrongly seeded Wisconsin. They had a very impressive season. |
| 14 |
West Virginia
|
They fought hard against the Zags and had an impressive win against Notre Dame |
| 15 |
Duke
|
Pretty good season overall, disappointing tournament |
| 16 |
Butler
|
Ranking them over Purdue to a better Sweet 16 performance |
| 17 |
Purdue
|
|
| 18 |
Baylor
|
An Elite 8 team yes. Their wins to get there weren't very impressive and lost badly to 7 seed South Carolina |
| 19 |
Louisville
|
A good season, and a loss to a hot Michigan |
| 20 |
Wichita State
|
Hopefully they get into the American and get a better deserving seed next year! |
| 21 |
Notre Dame
|
|
| 22 |
Saint Mary's
|
|
| 23 |
Florida State
|
I had a dream that FSU won the tournament. I'm embarrassed to say they were my winner pick. Still an impressive season in the ACC. |
| 24 |
Cincinnati
|
|
| 25 |
Arkansas
|
Does anyone remember their game against UNC? It was pretty close throughout |
