OrangePlasma's Ballot for Week 17 of 2019-20| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kansas
|
(+3) Kansas beat last week's number 1, Baylor, on the road and will most likely be the unanimous number 1 in the AP poll. |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
(-1) A loss to Kansas has no shame in it, even if you were the current number 1 and hosting. Plus, you have the road win on them too. |
| 3 |
Gonzaga
|
(-1) Gonzaga likely won't lose another game, but they got beat Saturday. That was no fluke. |
| 4 |
Dayton
|
+1 |
| 5 |
San Diego State
|
(-2) SDSU had by far the worst loss of the 3 top 5 teams that lost, but should still stay top 5. 26-1 is obviously no joke. |
| 6 |
Florida State
|
+3 |
| 7 |
Creighton
|
(+6) Creighton is the best team in the Big East right now. They're playing the best, winning, and I don't see it stopping. |
| 8 |
Duke
|
(-2) I wouldn't be surprised if Duke continues their bounce back after getting annihilated by NC State. |
| 9 |
Villanova
|
+1 |
| 10 |
Seton Hall

Auburn

-3 |
| 16 |
BYU
|
(NR) BYU had the best opportunity available this season, and they made the best of it. |
| 17 |
Iowa
|
(+6) A jump this big may be a bit much, but pretty much all the teams around Iowa lost, and Iowa didn't lose. |
| 18 |
Michigan
|
(NR) Michigan is a different beast with Isaiah Livers. |
