TSL5_CBB's Week 5 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Auburn | They take over #1 due to their impressive performance at the Maui Invitational, beating a User poll Top 25 ranked team in every matchup |
| 2 | Kansas | Duke is a solid win |
| 3 | Tennessee | Survivor with 3 straight Power 5 teams next up |
| 4 | Kentucky | Already have a great Duke win and Gonzaga is on the horizon... |
| 5 | Iowa State | |
| 6 | Purdue | |
| 7 | Gonzaga | |
| 8 | Alabama | |
| 9 | Florida | |
| 10 | Marquette | I was late ranking them and they're already up in the top 10 after Feast Week chaos! |
| 11 | Cincinnati | |
| 12 | Houston | |
| 13 | Texas | |
| 14 | Wisconsin | The Marquette-Wisconsin game will be fun on Saturday. |
| 15 | Duke | |
| 16 | Oregon | What a run in the first ever NIL Players Era Festival. |
| 17 | Baylor | |
| 18 | Texas Tech | |
| 19 | Illinois | |
| 20 | Ole Miss | Beat a good BYU team and lost to Purdue on a tip-in. Still a good team for Ole Miss. |
| 21 | Texas A&M | |
| 22 | UConn | Awful run for the Huskies, shouldn't really even be ranked, I'm not sure how many people will rank, but there is a lot of doubt that they can pull this back together. |
| 23 | Oklahoma | We've seen this before from Oklahoma, performing really well in a mid-season tournament, Porter Moser has his guys ready for the season and they are now on the radar all of a sudden. |
| 24 | BYU | |
| 25 | Arizona State | ASU is 8 points away in a really tough Gonzaga game from being undefeated. The Sun Devils have been playing really good basketball early. |
Overall Rationale
It was disappointing to see what happened to UCONN this past week, but teams like Oregon, Oklahoma, and Arizona State were able to benefit from Feast Week games. Top 5 Outside: UNC, Memphis, Michigan, Clemson, Drake
