Toastiify's Ballot for Week 7 of 2020-21| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Gonzaga
|
Tier 1a- Gonzaga is the undisputable best team in the country |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
Tier 1b- Baylor is the undisputable second best team in the country |
| 3 |
Villanova
|
Tier 2 |
| 4 |
Texas
|
Doing a complete rerank this week, going mainly off of resume and who I think would win h2h on neutral more often. |
| 5 |
Wisconsin
|
Tier 3 |
| 6 |
Iowa
|
Iowa still arguably has the best player in the country and they won at the RAC, albeit a fanless one. |
| 7 |
Kansas
|
Every team is so undeniably bad past like creighton that it just becomes a jumbled mess. Is the big 10 actually good, or is it just |
| 8 |
Creighton
|
Wisconsin and Iowa+the rest masquerading as good. How soon do we start giving every team a freebie and saying, eh it's that kinda year? |
| 9 |
Tennessee
|
Tier 4- Tennessee could have realistically been a top 5 team after their dominant win over mizzou...but then they lost to alabama at home? |
| 10 |
Michigan
|
Michigan is undefeated, but their best win is against an...okay? Northwestern team at home. |
| 11 |
Oregon
|
Oregon is the best team in a Pac-12 that's looking better than it has in multiple years. |
| 12 |
Virginia Tech
|
Who would have thought the 12th best team in the country could have a 20 point home loss to Penn State? It's that kind of year. |
| 13 |
Missouri
|
It's impossible to stress how difficult this poll was, especially starting fresh. Thank your local official poll voter this week. |
| 14 |
Clemson
|
And again, as I mentioned, every team has very obvious flaws and bad games. It's gotten to the point where they practically all cancel out |
| 15 |
Minnesota
|
Tier 5 |
| 16 |
Rutgers
|
I believe that Rutgers can be the 3rd best team in the big 10, but they aren't right now. They have the talent, just need to pull together. |
| 17 |
Houston
|
I wasn't big on Houston in the first place, so losing to Tulsa is a big hit to them. |
| 18 |
Louisville
|
Their one loss is a monstrosity to Wisconsin, but they've beaten the rest of the schedule, and their opponents have been decent. |
| 19 |
Illinois
|
I'm actually overall pretty happy with the teams I have ranked, but the order is definitely screwy. |
| 20 |
St. Louis
|
|
| 21 |
West Virginia
|
|
| 22 |
Oklahoma State
|
|
| 23 |
UConn
|
Tier 6 |
| 24 |
Arizona
|
|
| 25 |
Boise State
|
Lots of west coast teams could fit the 25 spot: BYU, SDSU, UCLA, Colorado, USC, even Stanford. Oklahoma and Drake were also considered. |
