Nacos2001's Week 5 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Michigan | +8 Just an absolute elite showing at Player's Era. Team looked absolutely unstoppable, I will reward them for playing tough opponents feast week over Purdue & Arizona who took the week off. |
| 2 | Purdue | -1 |
| 3 | Arizona | -1 |
| 4 | Michigan State | +4 Their wins are just simply better than these other teams outside the top 3 & Uconn and they still have not lost |
| 5 | Duke | +0 |
| 6 | UConn | +0 Very close to having over Duke, but Kansas win for Duke looks a lot better after feast week |
| 7 | Iowa State | +6 Sucks they didn't get to compete for money |
| 8 | Louisville | -4 Didn't do anything wrong, just Kentucky win doesn't look quite as good as it did the week it happened, and things get shuffled with feast week |
| 9 | Gonzaga | +8 Looked great, picked up 2 more wins of P5 teams but got embarrassed by a Michigan team on a misson |
| 10 | Tennessee | +4 Surprised me against Houston, would definitely be challenging top 5 if they hadn't lost to Kansas |
| 11 | Houston | -8 Big drop for losing to UT, but Houston simply doesn't have great wins(Only Auburn) and has struggled against subpar teams |
| 12 | BYU | -5 Still need a big win, loss isn't bad but similar to Houston, not great wins |
| 13 | North Carolina | -3 |
| 14 | Alabama | -3 Learn how to rebound |
| 15 | Kansas | NR Think having them not ranked was a bit of an overreaction, a win over UT and only losses to Duke, UNC |
| 16 | Vanderbilt | +9 Would like to see this team play someone stronger than Saint Mary's, think this team could be pretty good |
| 17 | Illinois | -2 |
| 18 | Auburn | +9 |
| 19 | Florida | -7 Everyone past Auburn i'm just throwing darts and seeing what I get. Really hard at the end of the poll, a lot of teams with no wins basically. |
| 20 | USC | NR Won Maui, feels weird not to have Maui winner on here |
| 21 | Indiana | +8 |
| 22 | Texas Tech | +8 |
| 23 | St. John's | -5 3 Losses, but all are to top 20 teams, think this team is still better than most of these ranked 20-30 teams |
| 24 | Baylor | -4 |
| 25 | Miami (FL) | NR |
Overall Rationale
