/r/CollegeBasketball Poll

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Duke	As much as I hate it, duh. Young team. Good outlook.
2	Kansas
3	Michigan State	Miles Bridges and Tom Izzo are baaack.
4	Villanova
5	Kentucky	Unless they get swept up in the investigation.
6	Florida
7	West Virginia	3 starters return and Press Virginia will dominate everyone but Kansas in the Big 12.
8	Wichita State
9	Arizona	Also contigent on how they are affected by the investigation.
10	USC
11	North Carolina
12	Northwestern	Breakout team with a breakout couch. I’m super excited to see what Northwestern can do this year.
13	Minnesota	Northwestern but in Minnesota essentially.
14	Miami (FL)	Returning a bunch of players from last year. Should battle well in the ACC.
15	Notre Dame
16	Purdue
17	Cincinnati
18	UCLA	Lonzo Ball is gone but from what I heard there’s a pretty good class coming in this year.
19	Gonzaga
20	Xavier
21	Alabama	Everyone is jumping on this train, so here I am jumping on as well. It would be cool to see Alabama do well in something non-football.
22	Maryland	Melo Trimble gone which is sad, but lots of untested depth. Plus returning 3 freshies from last year.
23	Seton Hall	Definitely will give Xavier run for their money this year.
24	Louisville	Good team but no Pitino. I’m unsure what will happen this year for this team.
25	Butler	I’ve heard good things about the recruiting class this year so it’ll be interesting to watch.
