Slimg7's Ballot for Week 5 of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|

Michigan State
|
Even though their 1 loss is to my undefeated #2 team, after what they did to UNC and ND deserves them to jump Duke. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
I haven't been sold on them since PK80. To go into those games away from home needing a big comeback to win was concerning. |
| 3 |
Kansas
|

| 4 |
Villanova
|
|
| 5 |
Florida

|
| 6 |
Wichita State

13 point wins over Baylor and Cincinnati at home this week gets them the biggest jump of the week for me. |
| 15 |
Cincinnati

I know the Xaiver loss wasn't as bad as this drop makes it seems, but I had trouble ranking them over Xavier with head-to-head results. |
| 16 |
West Virginia

| 17 |
Virginia

Great wins over TTU and Louisville this week makes up for their 1 point loss from Rhode Island (who I have at #26) |
| 20 |
USC
|
Tough 8 days for USC. |
| 21 |
Purdue
|
Purdue seems to have fixed the issues they had in Atlantis and look to be getting back on track. |
| 22 |
Louisville
|
Really hard week for Louisville with back to back losses to teams that were fringe top 25 going into this week. Makes them fringe top 25 |

Baylor

Texas Tech
|
|

Nevada

Still undefeated and they deserve to be in. |
