rileydavis3's Ballot for Week 6 of 2019-20| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State
|
top 3 is pretty interchangeable; I'll give OSU the slight edge because I like their guards more than Lville's and wings more than KU's |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
|
| 3 |
Louisville
|
|
| 4 |
Michigan
|
ugly loss at Louisville, but I'd still pick them to beat the other teams contending for a top 5 spot |
| 5 |
Gonzaga
|
I think Joel Ayayi is on the verge of taking over as the clear-cut lead guard |
| 6 |
Duke
|
impressive wins at Michigan State and at VT, plus Cassius Stanley is healthy again |
| 7 |
Virginia
|
the offense is putrid, but the defense is just too good. Kihei Clark owned Cole Anthony, a sentence I did not expect to type |
| 8 |
Baylor
|
+5 after beating Zona, defense is top 15 on KenPom, Freddie Gillespie is emerging as a steady post presence, transfers have been awesome |
| 9 |
Maryland
|
+7, I can no longer deny, this team is good. Manhandled ND and rallied to beat a good Illini team. The guys play so hard. |
| 10 |
Oregon
|
|
| 11 |
Kentucky
|
signs of life on offense in their win over Fairleigh Dickinson |
| 12 |
Dayton
|
+3 after a win over a good Saint Mary's team |
| 13 |
Tennessee
|
|
| 14 |
Arizona
|
they stay put after a close road loss to Baylor. |
| 15 |
Florida State
|
-3 after getting blown out against IU. But it was on the road, IU is okay, and everybody else sucks |
| 16 |
Villanova
|
|
| 17 |
Butler
|
biggest riser (unranked to 17th). had beat a couple bubble teams (Ole Miss, Stanford, Mizzou? Lol) before destroying Florida |
| 18 |
Auburn
|
tough to know how good this team is because their schedule is so easy. |
| 19 |
Purdue
|
huge win over UVA, the only team to break 60 on them. analytic darlings |
| 20 |
VCU
|
|
| 21 |
Michigan State
|
this team kind of sucks. makes me feel better about my Heels (see below) |
| 22 |
North Carolina
|
this team really sucks and I'm sad. If Bacot wasn't healthy, they'd be unranked. 2 losses against the top 2 defenses--better days ahead |
| 23 |
Seton Hall
|
losing Mamukelashvili really hurts this team |
| 24 |
Memphis
|
FELL OUT: (24) Saint Mary's, (25) Texas Tech |
| 25 |
Washington
|
Next 5: Xavier, San Diego State, LSU, Florida, Texas Tech |
