/r/CollegeBasketball Poll

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Tennessee	They may be missing a second signature win after the Gonzaga game, but their recent 4 game stretch included 4 solid teams.
2	Virginia	The loss to a shorthanded Duke team on the road doesn't negate the dominant win over VT on Monday.
3	Duke	Loss to Syracuse can't leave Duke top of the poll, even with the win over UVA.
4	Michigan	Still top 4 by virtue of the 1 loss, but weaker strength of schedule and efficiency metrics leaves them clearly last of the top 4.
5	Michigan State	Line between the top 4 and the rest is blurring. I like MSU's wins more than Michigan's right now, but the early season losses are dragging.
6	Gonzaga	Big drop-off after the top 5. Nothing remarkable on their resume except the Duke win, and hard to judge them in the WCC.
7	Nevada	Avoided a loss to Boise State thanks to Cody Martin's first 3 since December. Didn't look great, but losses below them save them a drop.
8	Virginia Tech	Got run out of the gym by UVA on a night that the Hoos shot lights out from 3. Good metrics and other losses keep them in the top 10.
9	Buffalo	Took care of business and avoided the losses that the rest of the 7-15 range took.
10	Kentucky	Ashton Hagans has turned this team into a serious defensive team, and the win at Auburn shows the steps this team took since the Bama loss.
11	Maryland
12	Marquette
13	Texas Tech
14	North Carolina
15	Auburn
16	Kansas
17	Villanova
18	Mississippi State
19	Houston
20	NC State
21	Iowa State
22	Nebraska
23	Ole Miss
24	Kansas State
25	Iowa
