/r/CollegeBasketball Poll

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Gonzaga	This feels like it could be pretty close to unanimous. Lots of talent here. The Timme/Holmgren combo will be a treat.
2	UCLA	I don't know how sold I am- this team got very hot at the right time last year. But do return a wealth of talent from that team.
3	Kansas	Another B12 title almost feels inevitable
4	Michigan	Juwan Howard has been superb so far, and has shown he can recruit too.
5	Villanova
6	$University of Texas at Austin Logo$ Texas	Beard has a squad here. Can they hang with Kansas? (and avoid random b12 losses that KU is so good at avoiding)
7	Baylor	They do lose Butler + Mitchell, but some respect for the returning champs. Scott Drew officially a good coach
8	Purdue
9	Duke	Looking to send Coach K off to the sunset on a high note
10	Memphis	This team has the talent. Penny Hardaway hasn't yet shown big things with the on court results, but the pieces are in place.
11	Houston	Hot off a F4 run, Sampson has this team performing each year
12	Illinois	This almost feels low. Cockburn is still very very good.
13	Alabama	It's preseason, these 3 SEC teams could be in any order
14	Arkansas	Some strong coaches (dare I say elite?) have been rising in the SEC
15	Kentucky	Last years struggles are slightly concerning, but with how Cal pumps talent through the program, can easily climb back up
16	Ohio State
17	North Carolina	Will be interesting to see how a new coach does. Brought in some fun transfers. Looking forward to watching this team.
18	Florida State	I will not doubt Leonard Hamilton. Feels like they've been overlooked in preseason recently to proceed to climb the ranks
19	Oregon	Speaking of overlooked, Pac12 showed last tourney they deserve more respect on their name
20	Tennessee
21	USC
22	Maryland
23	Texas Tech
24	Virginia	They might be raw, but a Tony Bennett team will have disciplined defense. And that will keep them in games.
25	Drake	honorable mentions: auburn, loyola, MSU, UConn
