Dysalot's Ballot for Week 5 of 2014-15| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Kentucky
|
Kentucky Continues their ways with a top performance against a very good Texas. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
Solidifies their #2 spot with a 10 point win over Wisconsin. |
| 3 |
Arizona
|
Solid wins over San Diego St. and Gonzaga. Good shot at going into conference play undefeated. |
| 4 |
Louisville
|
Best win is at home against Ohio State, the Kentucky matchup might be two top 3 teams on Dec. 27. |
| 5 |
Virginia
|
No top wins yet, weak-ish non-con. They are going to try to get wins by quantity. |
| 6 |
Villanova
|
Biggest win is the 24 point win over VCU. |
| 7 |
Wisconsin
|
Home loss to Duke isn't bad, obviously they are very good, but that was their best chance to prove themselves. |
| 8 |
Texas
|
No chance at Rupp Arena against Kentucky right now. |
| 9 |
Kansas
|
Seems to have recovered from the Kentucky game. |
| 10 |
Gonzaga
|
Overtime loss at Arizona. Game went as expected |
| 11 |
Ohio State
|
Has played no one except Louisville, which they lost. No chance to prove anything until UNC on Dec. 20. |
| 12 |
Wichita State
|
Really needed the win over Utah, but it was OT on the road. |
| 13 |
Iowa State
|
Only loss to Maryland, Arkansas is the only sort of impressive win. |
| 14 |
North Carolina
|
Hasn't been consistent enough right now to be a top 10 team. |
| 15 |
Butler
|
Wins over North Carolina and Georgetown look good. The loss to Oklahoma isn't terrible. |
| 16 |
Utah
|
Great win over Wichita State. |
| 17 |
Maryland
|
Only loss is to a very good Virginia. |
| 18 |
San Diego State
|
Close loss to Arizona, best win is Utah. Lost in a stinker to Washington. |
| 19 |
Baylor
|
Only loss to Illinois, no extraordinary wins. |
| 20 |
Notre Dame
|
Good win over Michigan State, tough loss to Providence. |
| 21 |
Miami (FL)
|
13 point loss at home to Green Bay really dampens their momentum. |
| 22 |
Illinois
|
Good win over Baylor, loss @ Miami. Villanova will be a huge test. |
| 23 |
Iowa
|
Win over UNC really helps. |
| 24 |
Northern Iowa
|
Decent road win over Stephen F. Austin. Still unbeaten. |
| 25 |
UCLA
|
Lost to the only two top opponents they've played. |
