/r/CollegeBasketball Poll

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Xavier	I've had Xavier higher ranked than Michigan State since MSU's bad week back in January. MSU took a jump, but not over Xavier
2	Villanova
3	Michigan State	Michigan State actually still got a big jump from me for beating Purdue this week.
4	Virginia
5	Cincinnati
6	Purdue	Purdue's toughest week. Could have won both games. But they lost, so they fall
7	Texas Tech
8	Gonzaga	Great win for Gonzaga on Saturday. They get a big jump from all the upsets this week. But w/ remaining schedule, this is probably ceiling.
9	Duke
10	Auburn
11	Clemson
12	Kansas
13	Ohio State
14	Arizona
15	North Carolina
16	Tennessee	Tennessee doesn't move much even though they got blown out by Alabama. Winning at Rupp helped that.
17	Saint Mary's
18	URI
19	West Virginia
20	Oklahoma	I wanted to drop them further, but then I ran into "who else could go up higher." These upsets really mess with the bottom of the poll.
21	Arizona State
22	New Mexico State	Thankfully they won at Grand Canyon, because I don't know if there is a 25th team that deserves being in.
23	Creighton	Again, bottom of the poll is a mess. Almost win vs Xavier, but even with the loss, I rewarded them. Because I couldn't find anyone better rn
24	Michigan
25	Wichita State	I had them out of my top 25 all week, but after all the other losses, they had to go back in. Someone from 26-30 steps up can take this spot
