/r/CollegeBasketball Poll

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Duke	Considering it is only Week 2, destroying Kentucky is enough to gain my #1 vote even if the Wildcats are performing below expectations.
2	Kansas
3	Gonzaga
4	Virginia	I didn't account for transfer Braxton Key in my preseason ranking of Virginia. (+1)
5	Nevada
6	North Carolina	North Carolina played two road games to start the season so they see a small boost to their ranking.
7	Tennessee
8	Auburn	Early season rankings don't mean much after just 1-2 games, but Auburn jumps one spot for beating a preseason-favored Washington team.
9	Villanova
10	Florida State	They obliterated a Florida team just outside my preseason Top 25, and this was without a key player. They will be a force in the ACC.
11	Michigan State	A philosophy that I will apply more this season: teams should drop very little or not at all for losing a close one to a higher ranked team.
12	Kansas State
13	Kentucky	I'll leave Kentucky just below the team that knocked them out of the tournament in March. Another loss before mid-December and they are out.
14	Oregon
15	Virginia Tech
16	Syracuse
17	Mississippi State
18	LSU
19	UCLA
20	Michigan
21	Clemson
22	Marquette
23	Purdue
24	Buffalo	Knocked off West Virginia in their place. Because I still believe the Mountaineers are a good team, I will reward Buffalo.
25	Nebraska	West Virginia and Washington falling out left room to bring in my #26, Nebraska, who won their first two games by 69 (nice) and 52.
