pacman-2022's Week 5 Ballot

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Auburn	Won their tourney, 3 great wins, #1 on KenPom, They have the best resume and I think they are definitively the best team in college basketball.
2	Kansas	Great win over Duke, still haven't lost and they look very solid.
3	Tennessee	They didn't play anyone good last week, but some teams above them showed they were frauds.
4	Marquette	They didn't play anyone good last week, but some teams above them showed they were frauds.
5	Iowa State	They did lose to Auburn, but it was a 2 point game and they handled their other two matches well. Definitely a great squad.
6	Kentucky	They didn't play anyone good last week, but some teams above them showed they were frauds.
7	Wisconsin	They beat a very good Pitt team, and remain undefeated. I'm very surprised I have them this high but they are a very good team with great wins.
8	Gonzaga	Maybe a little low. They are still a great team, but a lost to WVU does raise questions. It was OT though so very close and easily could've been a W
9	Purdue	Handled both of their matches including a late comeback against a red hot from 3 Ole Miss. Very solid team that I think I'm a little high on compared to most people.
10	Oregon	They jumped a ton here. I honestly thought they were pretty fraudulent after their close games with Portland and Oregon State, but they proved themselves with a wonderful 3-0 tournament.
11	Duke	They lost to Kansas, but it was a very close game and they could've won. This week they play Auburn with a lot of potential to prove.
12	Florida	They may not have played anyone, but all of their games have been dominant, and there are a lot of teams that I don't like coming out of last week.
13	Cincinnati	They may not have played anyone, but all of their games have been dominant, and there are a lot of teams that I don't like coming out of last week.
14	Alabama	I'm not high on Bama, but they beat Houston (who may not be as good as I thought). Unfortunately they lost to Oregon, but its possible I've been hating too much.
15	Memphis	I don't know how to rank these next 10 or so, Memphis has only lost to Auburn and has a few good wins, so they're here.
16	Baylor	Sic 'em. Not sure if this is too high but there are a lot of teams that lost last week a few times and Baylor isn't one of them.
17	Houston	They have 3 losses, but idk where else to put them. They still are a great team, just need to win games.
18	Pitt	Good team, Only lost to Wisconsin who I like a lot so they should be able to get up the rankings quick.
19	Texas A&M	Their loss to Oregon isn't as bad as I think they thought it was when it happened. Oregon is good, and I think so is A&M
20	Georgia	Only loss is to Pitt, otherwise they've beaten good teams and haven't lost any big ones.
21	North Carolina	3 losses, but a good team that just needs to start playing better, that seems to be the case for a lot of these teams this week.
22	Oklahoma	Undefeated, a few quality wins. Kenpom doesn't like them but I feel they will keep winning to change that.
23	Utah State	Undefeated, good tournament win against double digit Kenpom teams.
24	Drake	Rank Drake! They actually look very solid, and they certainly have a chance to keep their undefeated streak going for a while if the get past K-state
25	UCLA	Bounced back from their early loss, they are a quality team.

Overall Rationale

Dropped out: a lot of teams. Done Sunday before any games ended.
