/r/CollegeBasketball Poll

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Michigan State	Returns best player in college basketball at most important position. Mix with top 5 coach and strong front court.
2	Kansas	Best team 1-5. TBD how Adidas issues change season outlook.
3	Kentucky	Calipari. Tough guards. What level of contribution will Sestina give?
4	Florida	Nembhard + frosh class + blackshear
5	Duke	Highly touted class. Coach K.
6	Gonzaga	Higher here than most. Think Petrusev dominates all year. If Tillie can stay healthy, first title.

9	Virginia	Jay Huff breakout year.
10	Villanova	Jay Wright.
