JonJaysBooty's Ballot for Week 5 of 2016-17| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Baylor
|
Best resume in the country. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
Defending champs, still undefeated. |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
Their only loss -- Overtime to a ranked team on a neutral court in the season opener. |
| 4 |
Duke
|
|
| 5 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 6 |
UCLA
|
|
| 7 |
Gonzaga

Can't punish them too much for a close loss at home to a great team. |
| 9 |
Xavier
|
|
| 10 |
Butler
|
|
| 11 |
Creighton
|
|

| 14 |
South Carolina

West Virginia
|
Solid win at Virginia. They're better than I expected at this point in the season. |
| 16 |
Indiana
|
|
| 17 |
Oregon
|
|
| 18 |
Virginia
|
Someone needs to step up for UVA. Gill and Brogdon meant more than most people thought. |
| 19 |
Iowa State
|
Fell 7 spots in my poll, which might be kind of harsh for a one point OT loss to a ranked team. |
| 20 |
Wisconsin
|
No bad losses, but also no big wins. Best W is at home by 17 vs. my #24. |
| 21 |
Cincinnati
|
Hard to rank them below Iowa State, but they caught Iowa State on a cold night. ISU wins that 9 times out of 10. |
| 22 |
Florida
|
|
| 23 |
Arizona
|
|
| 24 |
Syracuse
|
|
| 25 |
Notre Dame
|
Undefeated but their best win is by four points to a team that probably won't make the tournament. |
