WWG_Fire's Week 5 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | im confident that purdue, michigan and arizona are the top 3 teams in the country but in which order? i have no idea |
| 2 | Arizona | |
| 3 | Michigan | +5 |
| 4 | Duke | -1 |
| 5 | UConn | |
| 6 | Louisville | |
| 7 | Michigan State | +4 |
| 8 | Alabama | -1 |
| 9 | Houston | -5 |
| 10 | BYU | +2 |
| 11 | Tennessee | +3 beat houston so they move up, i dont end up holding the kansas loss against them very much since kansas has looked much better recently |
| 12 | Gonzaga | -2 this team is so hard to place, on the one hand the computers love them and they've looked good but on the other hand they lost by FOURTY, but how much does that loss really matter? hard to tell |
| 13 | Iowa State | +2 havent loss yet which is good i suppose |
| 14 | Kentucky | +2 kentucky and illinois have lost both their ranked matchups and generally have very similar sos, i give it to kentucky just because of kenpom |
| 15 | Illinois | -6 |
| 16 | North Carolina | +2 |
| 17 | Vanderbilt | +4 |
| 18 | Kansas | NEW |
| 19 | Indiana | +5 |
| 20 | Florida | -7 bad loss to TCU drops them below teams like kansas and unc who have only have "quality" losses so far |
| 21 | St. John's | -4 |
| 22 | Iowa | +3 |
| 23 | Auburn | NEW |
| 24 | UCLA | -5 bad loss to cal |
| 25 | Texas Tech | -2 |
Overall Rationale
This poll was very hard to make, tons of losses and teams that both lost and won (like Tennessee)
