You ask people to comment on your ballot and then you blast everybody that disagrees with you when you can't even get your facts straight. And Houston has as many Q1 wins as your #1 ranked team so you obviously use your ranking criteria selectively. Dumbest thread I've seen in some time.
And yet here you are.
I've actually moved Virginia to #1.
I had no issue with people giving feedback, but it didn't come off that, they were acting I was insane for moving Houston to 11th in nation out of 352 teams as if its some kind of crazy idea.
I was critized and then I defended why I choose that. I have no idea why the butt hurt

Not sold on UK in the top 5.
Texas Tech overrated in top 10.
Houston belongs in top 10.
Prob. put Purdue and Va Tech higher....I think they are better than the ranking.
Im good with UC and UCF's rankings.
I responded to Shockfever on the Kansas thing. Its easy to say that Kansas doesn't feel top 15, but then you look at their resume and their 10 Q1 wins is best in the nation and they had an undefeated week that included a top 20 win by double digits. I like Kansas better than nevada, buffalo, wisconsin, K State, & Wofford.. The problem is not that Kansas is ranked #15, i think its that Kansas doesnt feel like a top 15 team and yet, no one else does either. its a very weak top 25
As for UK, Im not settled on #4, I feel like they and Tenn and Duke are interchangable. I've changed it a few times already
As for Houston, I always punish teams harder when they lose at home more. Last week I had Houston at 8, a 3 spot drop isn't crazy. Mich State lost on the road and I Dropped them 4 spots down to 10. I think i punished Houston the least out of any team who only lost 1 game.

RE: Reddit Poll Official Ballot for Top 25
I'd expect Houston to come in around 10-12 in tomorrow's AP poll so I have no idea why that is the part people are focusing on.
Seth Davis has them at 10
Rothstein has them at 12
Both have UCF ranked.
Both have UC in the top 20
It could be a good week in the AP poll for the league. If UCF gets left out, it will be by the thinnest of margins

Why would a 27-2 team with three Top 25 wins, one against the SEC co leader who also beat the other said co leader, place Houston out of the Top 10?
And why would that team also be ranked behind the team they beat?
Influenced by that media AAC bias perhaps?
And to address why it would place them out of the top 10:
Q1 Wins from teams in my top 10:
1. Gonzaga: 4
2. Virginia: 9
3. UNC: 8
4. UK: 9
5. Duke: 8
6.Tenne: 7
7. Michigan: 8
8. Texas Tech: 5
9. LSU: 9
10. Michigan State: 10
I don't think making Houston 11 is outrageous.
What are the Quad 1 winning percentages?

That said. AP poll is out.

I think they've had a good year, and if they finish strong with a win this week, and someone 20-25 loses I'd probably move them in.
Just 4 combined Tier 1 and 2 wins is very few for a team in the top 25.
UCF has 7
Washington has 8
NC State has 7
Auburn has 11

1 for now, though USU is like 29th. MWC having a down year again, but 2 will make tourney. UNLV, UNM, BSU and SDSU rebuilding, though SDSU has gotten hot lately. The others mentioned will be improved next year.
