Nacos2001's Week 6 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Michigan | +0 |
| 2 | Arizona | +1 |
| 3 | Duke | +2 A W @MSU closes the gap between them and Arizona, but the crushing win over Auburn keeps Arizona at 2 |
| 4 | Iowa State | +3 Iowa St. team is proving they are legit even without Lipsey probably not at 100%, absolutely in the same group as Michigan, Arizona, and Duke |
| 5 | UConn | +1 Picks up another huge W @Kansas which is never easy, only slight blemish is that home loss to Arizona |
| 6 | Gonzaga | +3 Kentucky not too impressive of a W now, but these are power rankings and MSU & Purdue lost last week |
| 7 | Michigan State | -3 Tough, but close loss to Duke at home, not punished as much as Purdue who got embarrassed. |
| 8 | Purdue | -6 |
| 9 | Houston | +2 |
| 10 | BYU | +2 |
| 11 | North Carolina | +2 |
| 12 | Alabama | +2 Need to get healthy |
| 13 | Illinois | +4 Great W over Tennessee, this European pro squad masquerading as a college team looks to be at the top of the big 10 |
| 14 | Louisville | -6 With Kentucky falling apart and their best win losing to Minnesota earlier this week, I had them fall a decent amount |
| 15 | Vanderbilt | +1 |
| 16 | Kansas | -1 Got lucky everyone else lost |
| 17 | Texas Tech | +5 |
| 18 | Arkansas | +8 Handed Louisville their first loss, nearly let it slip away in that 2nd half |
| 19 | Tennessee | -9 Two losses, one to Syracuse, probably should have dropped them lower but like Kansas they benefitted from everyone losing this week |
| 20 | Florida | -1 Not as bad of a loss as everyone else |
| 21 | Auburn | -3 Got thumped, in a normal week they drop further |
| 22 | St. John's | +1 |
| 23 | Baylor | +1 |
| 24 | Miami (FL) | +1 |
| 25 | Saint Mary's | +5 |
