AsheliaDalmasca's Ballot for Week 15 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Virginia
|
Resume-based computer poll incorporating Quality Wins, W/L Record, SOS, MOV, and Efficiency. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
Designed to mimic selection and seeding for March, though I'll adjust rankings (maximum of 2 spots) to account for recent play. |
| 3 |
Purdue
|
Though designed to reflect March seeding, Efficiency and MOV sway from that, but r included to reflect "better" teams and be more predictive |
| 4 |
Xavier
|
|
| 5 |
Texas Tech
|
Either my system overranks TTU, or the committee has underseeded them. |
| 6 |
Michigan State
|
I get where the committee is coming from with MSU's resume, but the Purdue and UNC wins count for a lot of points in my system. |
| 7 |
Duke
|
|
| 8 |
Gonzaga
|
I get their SOS isn't great, but they have some quality wins - I think they're deserving of at least a 4 seed right now. |
| 9 |
Cincinnati
|
|
| 10 |
Auburn
|
|
| 11 |
Clemson
|
|
| 12 |
Ohio State
|
|
| 13 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 14 |
Kansas
|
My system has them a lot lower than what the committee thinks, could be due to their low MOV. |
| 15 |
Saint Mary's
|
Committee will understandably seed them lower, but their win @ Gonzaga, strong W/L record and efficiency will keep them high on my rankings. |
| 16 |
Tennessee
|
|
| 17 |
West Virginia
|
My system probably overweights them a little. |
| 18 |
Nevada
|
|
| 19 |
Arizona State
|
Their resume is better than Arizona's (who's noticeably absent from my poll. Better MOV & wins, equal SOS, equal W/L, similar Efficiencies. |
| 20 |
New Mexico State
|
Miami win helping a lot. |
| 21 |
URI
|
|
| 22 |
Wichita State
|
|
| 23 |
Texas A&M
|
|
| 24 |
Michigan
|
Really good wins. |
| 25 |
Oklahoma
|
Bad MOV and efficiency has them low in my rankings. |
