My AP Top 25 ballot this week

Here's our penultimate ballot of the season. Not much change near the top, just a couple of new teams near the bottom -- Iowa State and Dayton. Even though ISU lost this week (to No. 1 Kansas), just about every other team in the bottom half of, or just outside, my ballot also lost, and the Cyclones have a fairly impressive resume despite 10 losses.
