/r/CollegeBasketball Poll

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Gonzaga	As we get toward the latter part of the season, my philosophy of my rankings will shift. There are two factors I consider:
2	Baylor	1. Throughout the entire season, my rankings are based on who gives themselves the best chance to win every game they play
3	Villanova	2. As we progress further until March, my rankings give much greater consideration to who can potentially win the national championship
4	Iowa	We really start to see this shift happen at this set of rankings. I'd like to point out a team like Michigan.
5	$University of Texas at Austin Logo$ Texas	Michigan has looked impressive throughout the entire season, but they lost by an incredible amount to Minnesota this week.
6	Tennessee	I didn't drop Michigan too much because I know what Michigan is and they have more of an ability to perform well in 6 consecutive games.
7	Michigan	Or look at Louisville. I think I increased them even after a loss to Miami, because I think the team has the ability to make the Final Four.
8	Houston	So I'm sure this ballot will cause a bit of controversy, but that's how I have always tended to shape my rankings.
9	Minnesota	I don't look into the "what have you done for me lately," but rather a "how well can you perform over a considerable amount of time."
10	Louisville
11	Oregon
12	Illinois
13	Wisconsin
14	Florida State
15	Ohio State
16	Texas Tech
17	Virginia Tech
18	UConn
19	Creighton
20	Kansas
21	St. Louis
22	West Virginia
23	Drake
24	Virginia
25	Colorado	Next 5 out: Oklahoma State, Rutgers, Oklahoma, Duke, Clemson
