Senior_Chang's Ballot for Week 5 of 2019-20| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan
|
I can't imagine I'll be the only one doing this. Resume is strong, defense looks like an NBA team with their rotations, offense clicking. |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
Had them here last week. Defense is elite as heck, and offense will improve. |
| 3 |
Louisville
|
Have a case for number 1, but haven't had any real challenge yet. Michigan game will be hype and a real test. |
| 4 |
Ohio State
|
There's a ton of teams with arguments to get ranked this week |
| 5 |
Gonzaga
|
and some of the blue bloods have slipped- but based on talent and whatnot, will remain ranked |
| 6 |
Maryland
|
but for now, they do not look like top 10 teams |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
honestly, there aren't many teams that do |
| 8 |
Kansas
|
I have no doubt that duke and kentucky will be formidable come tourney time |
| 9 |
Oregon
|
I was quite impressed by the top 4 at b4a: Michigan, Gonzaga, UNC, Oregon |
| 10 |
Arizona
|
All 4, in my mind, are Final Four contenders. |
| 11 |
Kentucky
|
I don't think I put any hot take new teams in here, but maybe some of the order is weird |
| 12 |
Duke
|
Definitely a tough week- lots of good, not great teams. |
| 13 |
Auburn
|
and records and resumes really just blur together at this point in the year |
| 14 |
Memphis
|
I Initially had Stanford ranked, but slowly added teams and kept pushing them back |
| 15 |
Dayton
|
They are just on the outside |
| 16 |
Michigan State
|
Michigan State is wholly unimpressive right now. Classic Izzo stuff, but that Virginia Tech loss was bad |
| 17 |
Seton Hall
|
Didn't look great against ISU, but still won. That sells me. That was a team that looks good offensively. |
| 18 |
Oklahoma State
|
|
| 19 |
San Diego State
|
|
| 20 |
Butler
|
|
| 21 |
Colorado
|
|
| 22 |
Florida State
|
Probably have an argument to be higher but that pitt loss. |
| 23 |
Washington
|
|
| 24 |
Baylor
|
|
| 25 |
Tennessee
|
Honorable mentions: stanford, arkansas, depaul, Indiana, xavier, penn st |
