jckund's Ballot for Week 5 of 2016-17| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Villanova
|
Kentucky loses, Villanova wins. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
Tatum and Bolden back from injury - think this team starts back on the upswing. Nice win over MSU, UF will be the real challenge. |
| 3 |
Baylor
|
Baylor just simply has the most impressive resume of any team so far... complete beatdown of Xavier in the final 10 min. Very athletic. |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
Kansas is right there with Baylor - Baylor only jumped because of the more impressive resume at this point. |
| 5 |
UCLA
|
I can no longer make an argument that this team is overrated. |
| 6 |
Kentucky
|
Talent-wise I think they're the best team in the country. Resume doesn't yet agree. |
| 7 |
Gonzaga
|
OK fine, Gonzaga finally jumps St Marys. Throttled Arizona, really impressive resume on neutral floors. |
| 8 |
Indiana
|
I think Fort Wayne was a weird fluke, willing to ignore it more now that this team handled UNC |
| 9 |
North Carolina
|
Losing at Indiana isn't a big deal, really. |
| 10 |
Saint Mary's
|
Took care of business at Stanford. Some quality wins, but missing the signature ones. |
| 11 |
Creighton
|
Creighton goes here for now - same old |
| 12 |
Xavier
|
Don't think the loss @ Baylor hurts that much, but man they looked bad in the second half. |
| 13 |
Louisville
|
Stayed a step ahead of Purdue |
| 14 |
West Virginia
|
Really impressive win over Virginia, a team I thought was difficult to bother. |
| 15 |
Virginia
|
0.93 PPP against WVU, but mostly a function of turnovers. Think they're ok. |
| 16 |
Florida
|
Nothing new here |
| 17 |
Butler
|
|
