/r/CollegeBasketball Poll

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Duke	Clear #1
2	Kansas	Josh Jackson is the best frosh in the land
3	Kentucky	I hate Kentucky but I can't deny the freshman talent on this roster
4	Villanova	They'd be #2 with an eligible Spellman
5	Oregon	The Brooks injury is scary, but still a potential top 5 team
6	Xavier	Too many weapons even with the loss of Davis to be ranked any lower
7	Virginia	Nichols addition is huge - Cavs will need to address scoring issue
8	North Carolina	Can Justin Jackson be the alpha dog? Berry is poised for breakout plus solid frontcourt
9	Arizona	Heavily reliant on young talent - love Miller as a coach
10	Wisconsin	I think Hayes gets back on track this year
11	Michigan State	Schilling loss is enormous, but it's Tom Izzo you guys
12	Indiana	Crean = not great. Bryant = great.
13	Louisville	Mitchell and Snider breakout candidates paired with perhaps the best coach in the country
14	UCLA	Alford has the talent he needs to get off the hot seat
15	Saint Mary's	All five starters back from a team that should've made the Dance last year
16	Gonzaga	Reliant on big-name transfers. Few shouldn't have any problem meshing them together.
17	Cincinnati	Caupain one of the best leaders in the country
18	Purdue	Isaac Haas is the BFG
19	Iowa State	Morris is a 1st team AA this year. No inside game is worrisome, but they'll look to outscore everyone anyway.
20	Butler	Too many people are too low on this squad
21	UConn	Freshman Gilbert is a PTPer and Purvis breaks out.
22	Baylor	LeComte is one of the most underrated transfers this year. Expect a big season from Motley.
23	Syracuse	Andrew White addition vaults them into top 25
24	California	HOT TAKE! Ivan Rabb National POY
25	Michigan	Controversial choice here - their returning core of Walton/Robinson/Irvin is experienced and extremely talented. Beilein can flat out coach.
