Bengjumping's Week 5 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Auburn | Great week at Maui. Easily the best team in the country |
| 2 | Kansas | Good win vs Duke. Hunter Dickinson is still a dick. |
| 3 | Tennessee | |
| 4 | Kentucky | |
| 5 | Iowa State | Got a rough matchup against Auburn. Took care of business after that. |
| 6 | Gonzaga | Went 2-1. L to WVU, W vs Indiana and Davidson |
| 7 | Wisconsin | Great wins in the Greenbrier classic |
| 8 | Oregon | Great week in Vegas. Reminds me of when UConn won the 2011 Maui Invitational |
| 9 | Purdue | Good win vs Ole Miss |
| 10 | Houston | Went 1-2 in Vegas. Looks vulnerable, but will be fine |
| 11 | Alabama | Good week in Vegas. |
| 12 | Florida | Won their MTE in Orlando |
| 13 | Marquette | Iowa St game this week should be very good |
| 14 | San Diego State | Went 2-1 in Vegas. Good win vs Houston |
| 15 | Cincinnati | |
| 16 | Memphis | Went 2-1 in Maui. Plays a whole bunch of chaos basketball |
| 17 | Duke | L to Kansas, not much past that this week |
| 18 | Baylor | UConn game on Wednesday will be interesting |
| 19 | North Carolina | Went 1-2 in Maui. Could've easily lost to Dayton as well |
| 20 | Oklahoma | Great week in the Bahamas. Went 3-0. |
| 21 | Pitt | Great win vs Ohio State |
| 22 | Texas A&M | Went 2-1 in Vegas. Shouldn't change much in the rankings |
| 23 | Illinois | Great win vs Arkansas. |
| 24 | Louisville | Good week in the Bahamas. Went 2-1 with a loss to Oklahoma |
| 25 | West Virginia | Good wins vs Gonzaga and Arizona |
Overall Rationale
A lot of T25 teams went down this past week. I'm sure that others will have different opinions, but I was really impressed by Oregon, Auburns, Memphis, Wisconsin, and SDSU this past week. Others under consideration include UConn, Dayton, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Creighton, BYU, and Texas in no particular order.
