corndogshuffle's Week 6 Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tennessee | +2 Tennessee DESTROYED Syracuse with facts and logic, remaining undefeated |
| 2 | Auburn | -1 Auburn lost in Cameron but 1. There's no shame in that, and 2. Auburn still owns two top ten wins in Torvik |
| 3 | Iowa State | +4 Picked up their first major win of the season against Marquette |
| 4 | Kentucky | NC Lost for the first time at 22 Clemson, but picked up their second top 5 win in a quasi-road game against Gonzaga |
| 5 | Marquette | NC Lost for the first time against Iowa State, but has a nice collection of wins (3 against T25, 4 against T50) |
| 6 | Duke | +6 Earned a huge statement win against Auburn |
| 7 | Purdue | +1 Split a tough week at top 20 Penn State and top 10 Maryland |
| 8 | Oregon | -2 Tough buzzer beater loss at home, but Oregon remains buoyed by four top 40 wins |
| 9 | Alabama | +1 Dominated reeling UNC in Chapel Hill |
| 10 | Florida | +3 I believe this team is good but I really need them to play somebody. They play AZState in Atlanta on Saturday. Actually, I might go to that |
| 11 | Clemson | UNR This isn't just about UK, athough it is partially about that. Clemson also has a win against 16 Penn State and 33 San Franisco |
| 12 | Gonzaga | -3 Tough OT loss for the Zags, who led by 18 at one point against Kentucky |
| 13 | San Diego State | +5 While everyone else in CBB was busy losing, SDSU was not |
| 14 | Kansas | -12 Got blasted twice this week |
| 15 | Oklahoma | NC Full disclosure - I don't know that I buy the Sooners as top 15. But they absolutely deserve it right now based on what has happened this year |
| 16 | Texas A&M | UNR Picked up a nice win against Texas Tech. Besdes their annual WTF loss against UCF, Texas A&M has just about lived up to their preseason billing |
| 17 | Arizona State | +3 DIdn't play anyone this week. But some teams didn't play anyone and still lost. So, have a poll bump |
| 18 | Baylor | -4 Still has no bad losses (by opponent quality at least), but without at least one more win I'm one more ""not a bad loss"" away from unranking Baylor entirely |
| 19 | Wisconsin | -8 Took tough top 20 losses against Michigan and at Marquette |
| 20 | Utah State | UNR Just keeps winning |
| 21 | Georgia | UNR These guys keep ending up in my ballot. Georgia handled Notre Dame this week |
| 22 | Memphis | -5 Arkansas State is better than people think, but come on |
| 23 | Penn State | UNR Beat Purdue this week, and their only loss so far came against Clemson. There's an argument I've left them too low |
| 24 | Ole Miss | UNR Two top fifty wins and only lost once, on a neutral floor to Purdue |
| 25 | Michigan State | -3 Michigan State didn't lose, but still got jumped by six previously unranked teams who I now find more impressive |
Overall Rationale
Any reference to “top 50”, or something like that, is a reference to Torvik. Next five: UCLA, Mississippi State, Maryland, Pittsburgh, West Virginia
