/r/CollegeBasketball Poll

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Kentucky	Played lights out in first 4 games, including blowing out MSU
2	Villanova	The reigning champs will stay ranked highly until proven otherwise
3	North Carolina	Haven't had a real test yet but offense is gelling
4	Virginia	Virginia's defense has shined, helping them roll over opponents
5	Indiana	IU deserves this spot (ahead of Kansus and Duke) for now, will be interesting to see these how these 3 teams progress and move going forward
6	Kansas	I think this team will continue to rise up the ranks as we get a larger sample size of games, starting to gel well. Oops I meant BIFM
7	Duke	Still probably the favorite to win national title, but keepin ranked lower until they are fully healthy and show it with their play
8	Louisville	Crazy athletic, have embarrassed all opponents so far. Looking forward to how they fare against bigger challenges.
9	Arizona	Sean Miller gets a lot out of his guys
10	Gonzaga	San Diego St died for this
11	Wisconsin	I think this is still a top ten team (and it will soon prove to be one), but think right now there are other teams more deserving
12	Oregon	Lets see what they do with Brooks back
13	Xavier	Xavier has had a few games that were a little close for comfort for me to have them top 10
14	Syracuse	Athletic and deep, fun to watch.
15	Purdue	Played Nova close but also played Georgia State too close for comfort...
16	Saint Mary's	Nice win at Dayton, continuing to prove doubters that they deserve(d) to dance
17	West Virginia	Press. Forced 34 turnovers and 19 steals against NH. 34.
18	Creighton	Nice wins over Wisconsin and NC State
19	UCLA	Lonzo Ball making this team fun to watch and has offense gelling. Could see these guys shoot up rankings if they keep it up.
20	Baylor	Great win over Oregon (even without Brooks), their fans (rightfully) saying they should've been ranked all along
21	Michigan State	Young, talented, but inexperienced team. While I understand they've faced tough teams, need to see more before moving them up
22	URI	Nice win over Cinci, could've played shorthanded Duke a little closer but they still look solid
23	Iowa State	Offense has looked really good past few games
24	Michigan	Have quietly beat a few top 50 teams on neutral site, start paying attention to these guys.
25	Cincinnati	Torn between Cinci and Maryland here. Maryland has a quality win at Georgetown, but Cinci's played more consistent despite the one loss.
