/r/CollegeBasketball Poll

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Kentucky	Keeping UK at #1 from my preseason poll for same reasons they started there. Nice win over MSU to boot.
2	Villanova
3	Kansas
4	Duke	Guesswork with where to put Duke near the top with all the injuries. Close loss to Kansas and beating URI, I think here is appropriate
5	Indiana	I know they beat Kansas, and head-to-head arguably means more with so little games played so far, but I just prefer Kansas and Duke a smidge
6	North Carolina
7	Xavier
8	Arizona
9	Oregon	Baylor and Valpo showed the wide floor–ceiling range without Brooks. Ready to move them up if they ball out with his return this week
10	Virginia	Wanted to dock them for Nichols, but this is the lowest I even feel comfortable going given all their talent and how they looked v. Yale
11	Wisconsin	Not really concerned with losing @ Creighton who I think is also really good. Luckily we will learn a lot quickly from Maui games and Cuse
12	Louisville
13	Creighton
14	UCLA
15	Saint Mary's	Winning @ Dayton helps validate the preseason expectations
16	Gonzaga
17	Syracuse
18	$University of Texas at Austin Logo$ Texas
19	Iowa State
20	Baylor	Tough to argue with that Oregon result, welcome to the top 25
21	Purdue
22	West Virginia
23	Butler
24	Florida State
25	Michigan	My other new top 25 entry. Didn't know what to do here after MSU's unimpressive FGCU showing. Wolverines have looked great though.
