DEP61's Ballot for Week 20 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Villanova
|
Yet again, another college basketball season comes to a close. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Yes, other sports exist (not if you're Kansas, but at most other places it's baseball time and soon enough it's football.) |
| 3 |
Duke
|
You know I had to do that. |
| 4 |
Michigan
|
Despite other sports to fill the gap, though, we'll be without college basketball for another seven months. |
| 5 |
Texas Tech
|
That's too damn long - and, with the way the Timberwolves are playing, I might not even have the NBA. |
| 6 |
Loyola Chicago
|
Quick aside - how about the Jesus connection? Need to hook Pepperdine up to that. |
| 7 |
Xavier
|
Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you, really. |
| 8 |
Virginia
|
A large part of my enjoyment of college basketball comes from the fandom, and y'all are part of that. |
| 9 |
Nevada
|
Another aside, sorry - I put these guys here because I was remarkably impressed with the resilience of the team in every game. |
| 10 |
North Carolina
|
Anyways. Thank you to the pollsters. |
| 11 |
West Virginia
|
Week in, week out, y'all are there to be far more rational than I usually am. |
| 12 |
Purdue
|
It is an honor (of sorts) to get to "work" with y'all for 20-odd weeks. #RetForPoll |
| 13 |
Florida State
|
Secondly, I'll thank the people who are on the sub, commenting and posting. |
| 14 |
Clemson
|
From the most quality shitpost to super serious material, y'all are there for just about anything, and it's really nice. |
| 15 |
Gonzaga
|
Fuck Gonzaga. We'll get em next year. |
| 16 |
Kansas State
|
I'd also like to thank the Discord crew. |
| 17 |
Cincinnati
|
Y'all've been absolutely wonderful to chat with about everything. |
| 18 |
Tennessee
|
It's been something I can often look forward on great days and crappy days alike. |
| 19 |
Michigan State
|
And the connections I've made have been cool as hell, so shoutout to y'all. |
| 20 |
Ohio State
|
I am sorry for the @everyone ping a little while back, though. Not my proudest moment. |
| 21 |
Texas A&M
|
At the end of the day, we're just mostly faceless usernames in a sea of millions. |
| 22 |
Auburn
|
But it's neat that we can make something of a shared interest, and that's why I'm grateful for this place. |
| 23 |
Syracuse
|
So yeah. Thanks, r/CBB. Love y'all. See you in a bit. |
| 24 |
Buffalo
|
My second favorite upset - feel bad that I slept on these guys all year, honestly. |
| 25 |
UMBC
|
You knew this had to happen. |
