/r/CollegeBasketball Poll

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Duke	Best overall returning cast and freshmen coming in. Only school with all 5 starters on their respective watch lists.
2	Villanova	Defending national champs. Return a large portion of their team. However frontcourt play may be a slight issue.
3	Kansas	Josh Jackson could be a contender for national player of the year
4	Oregon	Really impressed with their performance last year. Return a large majority of their team.
5	Kentucky	Their freshmen are really impressive, however how long does it take them to gel
6	North Carolina	Joel Berry will step right in for Marcus Paige
7	Xavier	Trevon Bluiett could challenge Josh Hart for Big East player of the year
8	Wisconsin	Returning every single player from a team that was incredibly strong the second half of the season, until the tournaments.
9	Virginia	Malcolm Brogdon graduating may be the difference that prevents them from being a top 5 team
10	Arizona	Arizona will contend with Oregon for the Pac-12. Very good incoming freshmen class
11	Louisville	This will be a team that will be incredibly difficult to be at the Yum! Center
12	Indiana	Very good frontcourt. Just do they have a point guard?
13	Purdue	One of the best frontcourts in the country. Guard play looks very much improved. Carsen Edwards looks to be a stud freshmen.
