Nacos2001's Week 6 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Auburn | +0 Seems just about every close lost and losing @Cameron Indoor is not a big deal, this is still the best team in the country. |
| 2 | Tennessee | +3 Still undefeated, but haven't played a ton of good games, I'm excited to see them play some comp. |
| 3 | Iowa State | +4 Big win over Marquette. |
| 4 | Marquette | -1 Not that big of a deal to lose to Iowa St., plus they bounce back with a win over Wisconsin. |
| 5 | Duke | +8 Huge win over Auburn and a solid win @Louisville, team is legit and deserves the ranking. |
| 6 | Alabama | +6 Huge jump for just beating a mediocre UNC team on the road, but a lot of teams lost this week and they picked up a road win, so they climb. |
| 7 | Kentucky | +1 Loss @Clemson hurts, but huge comeback against Gonzaga balances it out. |
| 8 | Gonzaga | -2 Tough loss against Kentucky, but not a bad loss compared to others. |
| 9 | Oregon | -5 Always bad to lose at home, I will definitely still have them higher than most tho. |
| 10 | Kansas | -8 Large drop for two road losses, but I tend to penalize teams more for losing twice in one week, especially against unranked opponenets. |
| 11 | Florida | +4 Play better teams please. |
| 12 | Purdue | -3 Lost @Penn St. then barely team at least a solid Maryland team at home, this team has been struggling a bit as of late it seems. |
| 13 | Oklahoma | +1 Same as Florida but even more extreme. |
| 14 | Arizona State | +2 Play some P5 teams, the game against Florida should tell us a lot about the two teams. |
| 15 | Houston | +2 |
| 16 | Wisconsin | -6 Two losses, but one is to Marquette so they drop, but not a huge amount. |
| 17 | Mississippi State | +7 CRUSHED Pitt, they looked like what I expected this team to look like, a legit team with second weekend upside. |
| 18 | Michigan State | +5 Beat a solid Nebraska team handily, still think this team is legit. |
| 19 | Arkansas | +1 Just waiting for this team to lose, so I can drop them out, unless they suddenly get it together. |
| 20 | Drake | +1 |
| 21 | Baylor | -3 Another big game, another loss for Baylor, this team is weird and hard to rank. |
| 22 | Memphis | -11 Can't lose to a Sun Belt team, it was a good Sun Belt team, but still a Sun Belt team. |
| 23 | Texas A&M | +2 |
| 24 | Clemson | NR Great win over Kentucky, one of two ACC wins in the challenge. B2B E8s? |
| 25 | Pitt | -6 Got embarrassed, they might find themselves out of the rankings fast if they play like that. |
Overall Rationale
Dropped Out: Cincinnati(22)
