Hackasizlak's Week 5 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purdue | |
| 2 | Duke | |
| 3 | Michigan | Not sure what this week was - either Michigan is the greatest team ever or their opponents spent too much time gambling in between games. We might not know until January. |
| 4 | Arizona | |
| 5 | Iowa State | |
| 6 | Gonzaga | |
| 7 | Louisville | |
| 8 | UConn | |
| 9 | Michigan State | |
| 10 | BYU | |
| 11 | Houston | It feels weird putting them this low but 4 games vs power conference teams and imo they have yet to look like a top 10 team. |
| 12 | Vanderbilt | |
| 13 | Tennessee | |
| 14 | Alabama | |
| 15 | Auburn | I don't want to rank Auburn this high after getting blown out but everyone else around them had worse losses |
| 16 | North Carolina | |
| 17 | Illinois | |
| 18 | Kansas | |
| 19 | Florida | |
| 20 | Nebraska | |
| 21 | Oklahoma State | |
| 22 | USC | |
| 23 | Iowa | |
| 24 | Indiana | |
| 25 | UC San Diego | Mid-Major of the week goes to UC San Diego! No impressive wins but 3 neutral court wins over decent opposition - they may be on their way to the tourney again |
Overall Rationale
26. Utah St. 27. SMU 28. Kentucky 29. Missouri 30. Baylor
