MainPeanut25's Week 6 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Auburn | Still better resume than ISU/Tenn imo |
| 2 | Iowa State | +1, great win |
| 3 | Tennessee | +1, will probably be the #1 in the whole Reddit poll |
| 4 | Marquette | +1, expected loss |
| 5 | Kentucky | +2, here’s where everything becomes hodgepodge |
| 6 | Duke | +4, didn’t lose |
| 7 | Alabama | +8 |
| 8 | Florida | +6, just haven’t played many quality teams |
| 9 | Gonzaga | |
| 10 | Purdue | -2, worse loss than the final score indicated |
| 11 | Kansas | -9, was always shaky imo but I never expected them to lose to a team that was winless in their conference a year ago |
| 12 | Michigan State | +6, back |
| 13 | Michigan | +8, f |
| 14 | Oregon | -2, unexplainable team |
| 15 | Houston | +4 |
| 16 | Wisconsin | -10 |
| 17 | Ole Miss | NR, showed their worth |
| 18 | Oklahoma | +4, still kinda whelmed by them |
| 19 | Illinois | -2 |
| 20 | North Carolina | -7, four losses all to very good ranked teams by close/decent margins doesn’t mean they aren’t one of the best 25 |
| 21 | UConn | NR, bounceback |
| 22 | Clemson | NR, Brownell always keeping his head above water |
| 23 | Pitt | -7, didn’t even notice the Mississippi State game until I was putting this together |
| 24 | Texas A&M | -1 |
| 25 | Dayton | Just ended up back here by virtue of the hodgepodge |
