OliviaPG1's Week 5 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Auburn | what a Maui. obvious #1 |
| 2 | Kansas | obvious #2 |
| 3 | Tennessee | this team is high-key really really good |
| 4 | Kentucky | Mark Pope is a good basketball coach |
| 5 | Iowa State | man can't believe this team had to play Auburn in round 1 of Maui |
| 6 | Gonzaga | the WVU loss says more about WVU than the Zags imo, this team has a fantastic body of work regardless |
| 7 | Oregon | outside of Auburn, maybe the best MTE performance in the country |
| 8 | Marquette | Kam Jones is good at basketball |
| 9 | Wisconsin | John Tonje |
| 10 | Oklahoma | stunningly good Atlantis performance by the Sooners |
| 11 | Florida | no incredible wins but undefeated and really high in metrics |
| 12 | Cincinnati | can copy/paste the Florida text here |
| 13 | Utah State | god I look so smart for ranking this team week 2 |
| 14 | Purdue | Matt Painter is a good basketball coach |
| 15 | Alabama | defense is questionable but this team sure can score |
| 16 | Memphis | remember when beating UConn was rare? |
| 17 | Arizona State | don't mind me, just ranking the best Hurley-coached team in the nation. great MTE performance. |
| 18 | Pitt | crazy game @OSU, big win |
| 19 | Duke | Arizona win is looking less impressive every day but this team is still good |
| 20 | San Diego State | Brian Dutcher has done it again |
| 21 | Michigan State | Tom Izzo has done it again |
| 22 | Texas A&M | |
| 23 | Houston | I do feel kind of gross for ranking a 4-3 team with no good wins but all the losses are fine and they're top 5 in metrics. sue me. |
| 24 | Georgia | ok, I guess we're ranking Georgia now |
| 25 | Columbia | actually had them at 26 but this is a way more fun 25 than WVU and if you disagree you are a fun hater |
Overall Rationale
Next 5: West Virginia, Baylor, Drake, Ole Miss, North Carolina
