BensenJensen's Week 6 Ballot

RankTeamReason
1 Tennessee Auburn and Kansas both lost and Tennessee dismantled Syracuse
2 Iowa State Tough to put Iowa State ahead of the only team to beat them, but a home win against a top-5 team outweighs a road loss to a top-10.
3Auburn Tough loss in a tough environment (Duke) doesn't deserve too much punishment, followed it up with a decisive win over Richmond.
4 Duke Home win against Auburn and a road win with a improved-but-probably-below-average Louisville
5 Kentucky Two road games against good teams resulted in a 1-1 split.
6Marquette 1-1 week with a loss to ISU and a road win against Wisconsin
7 Kansas How much punishment does Kansas deserve after an 0-2 week? A 6 spot drop puts them at the bottom of the top-tier teams, but they deserve the benefit of the doubt, at least at this point in the season
8 Alabama Only game this week was a decisive win in Chapel Hill
9Gonzaga I'm sure the Zags would love to have that second half back against Kentucky. Up 50-34, with a chance to solidify an impressive non-conf schedule
10Purdue Road loss against Penn State and a home win against Maryland
11 Florida Beat Virginia and remained undefeated
12 Oregon Close loss Sunday night to UCLA momentarily kills some of the momentum from the Alabama win.
13Ole Miss Pretty easy week for the Rebels, but they got the job done
14 Oklahoma Remained undefeated
15Houston
16 Texas A&M
17 Michigan 2-0 week with a road win in Madison
18 UConn
19 Baylor
20Cincinnati 1-1 week, road loss at Villanova
21 Missouri Good start to the season highlighted with knocking off Kansas
22 Michigan State
23 Drake
24 Pitt
25 Arizona State
