gregorykoch11's Ballot for Week 5 of 2015-16| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan State
|
Sparty moving on up after Kentucky lost - they were a close #2 last week |
| 2 |
Iowa State
|
The Cyclones are underrated this year and are undefeated so far |
| 3 |
Oklahoma
|
Ditto for Boomer Sooner |
| 4 |
Purdue
|
Some value has to be given for being undefeated with a tough schedule, and the Boilermakers have done it |
| 5 |
Villanova
|
Good team out of the Big East |
| 6 |
North Carolina
|
Huge win over Maryland almost makes up for UNI loss. |
| 7 |
Maryland
|
UNC loss isn't too bad, and they've played well |
| 8 |
Kansas
|
Would have switched with Maryland, but that Harvard win was too close |
| 9 |
Duke
|
Starting to play well now, not actually playing games far too close |
| 10 |
West Virginia
|
Another good team out of Big 12 |
| 11 |
Kentucky
|
That UCLA loss was terrible,and Illinois State and BU were too close, at least for the first half. |
| 12 |
Arizona
|
A couple of quality wins, and the loss to Providence isn't horrendous |
| 13 |
Xavier
|
Musketeers have been playing well so far |
| 14 |
Virginia
|
The loss to GW isn't too bad, but there are better teams to rank ahead of them for now. |
| 15 |
Oregon
|
Pac-12 good team. |
| 16 |
Baylor
|
Big win over Vandy last night |
| 17 |
Cincinnati
|
The AAC is a power conference whether the selection committee believes it or not. |
| 18 |
South Carolina
|
Is this start just a fluke? Maybe. We'll find out once SEC action starts. |
| 19 |
Providence
|
Still a big Arizona win. |
| 20 |
Louisville
|
How about some love for the Cardinals? Scandal and all they keep flying. |
| 21 |
GW
|
Impressive Virginia win, played Cincy close for a quality loss |
| 22 |
SMU
|
Another strong team out of the American |
| 23 |
Butler
|
Good Big East team |
| 24 |
Northwestern
|
Their only loss was to UNC. Maybe the Wildcats will finally go to their first Big Dance this year. |
| 25 |
Utah
|
Back in the poll this week, their only loss was to Miami. The Canes have a pitiful loss to Northeastern which is why they're not ahead. |
