/r/CollegeBasketball Poll

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Michigan State	1/2 Honestly, this was probably the hardest part. I know that Duke has the head to head victory over MSU
2	Duke	2/2 However, Duke's loss to Boston College is much worse. However, these two are incredibly close.
3	Villanova	Even with a loss to Butler, Villanova is an extremely strong team. They almost had a comeback from 20+ points
4	Arizona State	Even with a loss to Arizona, they have one of the best resumes in the country
5	Xavier	X gonna give it to ya. One of the more consistent teams in the country.
6	West Virginia	Still undefeated inside of the United States, but they still have a good win against Virginia, and haven't lost since their first game
7	Oklahoma	Trae Young is the best player in the country right now.
8	Texas A&M	Bad loss to Alabama, but still have a win in Germany against WVU
9	Virginia	Only loss to a good WVU, but they haven't had a staple win yet.
10	Purdue	Wins vs. Arizona and Butler look good now. The WKU loss will haunt them throughout the season tho
11	Arizona	Since the disaster that was the Battle 4 Atlantis, they've recovered incredibly well
12	TCU	Close loss against Oklahoma. This team is still one of the best
13	Wichita State	While the Oklahoma loss looks good, they haven't had a staple win.
14	Kentucky	Good showing against Louisville
15	Kansas
16	North Carolina
17	Miami (FL)
18	Gonzaga
19	Texas Tech	Still looking solid after winning the BU-TT bowl
20	Arkansas
21	Cincinnati	Their loss to Xavier is looking better by the day
22	Seton Hall	Good win against Creighton, I am very scared of this team.
23	Clemson	These last 3 slots are here because I couldn't think of any better teams to put in.
24	Tennessee	Close loss to Arkansas on the road, still have the win against Purdue, which gives them a boost
25	Auburn	Also considered: Crieghton, Butler, Florida State, Baylor, Notre Dame, Alabama
