SleveMcDichael4's Ballot for Week 5 of 2020-21| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Gonzaga
|
I had Baylor here last week but jeeeeez. That Iowa game. |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
Drops from 1A to 1B, really. They're still streets ahead of the rest of the pack. |
| 3 |
Iowa
|
Not docking Iowa at all. Gonzaga's just that efficient. Garza still went for 30 and 10! |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
|
| 5 |
Texas
|
|
| 6 |
Wisconsin
|
I don't even know what to make of the Louisville game. Wisconsin shot lights out and Louisville was clearly not right from COVID. |
| 7 |
Houston
|
|
| 8 |
Kansas
|
Not as dominant as 2020 Kansas, but still probably at least a 3-seed |
| 9 |
West Virginia
|
|
| 10 |
Tennessee
|
It's gonna be really weird seeing a team besides Kentucky just use the SEC as its plaything |
| 11 |
Rutgers
|
Alright, you've sold me. Win twice in this B1G and you deserve this huge a jump. |
| 12 |
Missouri
|
|
| 13 |
Oregon
|
|
| 14 |
Illinois
|
Illinois is gonna be this year's version of last year's Purdue, eh? A few good wins but end up around .500 and metrics somehow love 'em? |
| 15 |
Creighton
|
|
| 16 |
Xavier
|
Oy, how's that for a first game back from pause?! |
| 17 |
North Carolina
|
Kentucky isn't a tournament team and the Heels still have some apparent offensive woes. |
| 18 |
Michigan State
|
Even Northwestern is a B1G cannibal. Yikes. |
| 19 |
Texas Tech
|
This team plays amazing defense but they've lost both of the real games they've played, so I'm not sold on them quite yet. |
| 20 |
Michigan
|
|
| 21 |
Florida State
|
UCF got pounded by Michigan and beat Florida State by double digits, so that means Michigan must be better, right? Right?!?! |
| 22 |
Duke
|
Congratulations to Duke on beating the 13th best team in the ACC. Their next bout is at home against the 11th best team. |
| 23 |
San Diego State
|
The final score of the BYU game was misleading but they're on thin ice now that Arizona State is apparently a fraud. |
| 24 |
Clemson
|
Brownell |
| 25 |
Ohio State
|
Fringe: Virginia Tech, Florida, Virginia, Purdue, Indiana, Connecticut |
