/r/CollegeBasketball Poll

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Kentucky	[Prev: 1] About my ballot:
2	Duke	[2] First, a team who doesn't lose that week doesn't drop spots in my poll.
3	Arizona	[3] Teams can leapfrog others, but no teams can drop spots for winning
4	Louisville	[4] If a team that's been winning by the skin of their teeth lose, they'll drop much further than a Villanova losing to the same team
5	Wisconsin	[5] This all doesn't exist in a vacuum, but it's how I approach most of my rankings
6	Virginia	[6] When teams in the lower reaches lose, I prefer to bring in new teams
7	Villanova	[7] I monitor the "next five" teams closer than unranked teams and they get first dibs on open spots
8	Kansas	[8] But because "next five" teams didn't have any points from me before they're not necessarily gonna be added in order
9	$University of Texas at Austin Logo$ Texas	[9] This might not make any sense to you which is totally cool, as long as you don't mind my poll order
10	Gonzaga	[10] I'm not trying to guess the AP poll, but I want to produce defensible choices
11	Ohio State	[11] Which means my lower spots are sometimes reserved for teams who I'm basically taking a flyer on
12	Iowa State	[12] This concludes "explain why nothing's changed in your top twelve"
13	Wichita State	[16] Have already played their toughest game this season, probably need to beat up UNI, etc for a one seed
14	Miami (FL)	[17] Baylor/Miami is a tough call, but I think I've been giving Baylor too much credit and need to compensate & Miami beat Illinois
15	Baylor	[15] Still overrating Baylor because of football sympathy, but they've got a bushel of decent wins
16	Utah	[13] Eesh, maybe Utah should be above both of them?
17	Maryland	[19] Oklahoma State game is going to be VERY telling
18	Oklahoma	[21] Oklahoma beat Butler.
19	Butler	[14] Butler beat UNC, although the UT loss is definitely a bit concerning
20	San Diego State	[22] That guy who logic-bombed the poll last week had some points
21	North Carolina	[18] Losses to Kentucky basically don't count but they're so close to getting dropped right now
22	Notre Dame	[24] "Conference wins are worth double" is a rule I just made up
23	St. John's	[N5] My word the Big East is deep
24	Washington	[New] If I forget to update this after the EWU game, I'm sorry
25	West Virginia	[New] Super grudgingly (Next Five: Michigan State, Minnesota, VCU, Georgetown, Iowa, Not Michigan)
