RankTeamReason
1 University of Virginia Logo Virginia T1 before you all complain, this how i view teams as most likely to win the championship, and might not necessarly be the best team. Got it?
2 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Despite the loss, they are still heavy contenders for the title, with the best offense and a deep team to go along with it.
3 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Have proven themselves to be a contender, and even their loss vs Duke was just bad shooting, with balance on both sides, poised 4 a deep run
4 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee Little less fire power than Gonzaga, but the same thing applies here with a great offense and a defense that can make plays.
5 Duke University Logo Duke now the big one, if you've noticed so far, all the teams above have great depth, which duke lacks, best starting 5 but bench could hurt them
6 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State (T2) Deep and balanced on both sides of the ball, lead by an older cast with wins over other contenders such as purdue and Michigan
7 University of Michigan Logo Michigan Offense coming to form, and can be scary on both ends of the floor if their offense is there
8 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky now the next controversial pick, an over reliance on young players showed in the Tenn game, along with an average 3pt d, is not good 4 march
9 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech Their d will cause mismatches vs a lot of teams, plus with an increasingly better offense can be a threat.
10 University of Houston Logo Houston (T3) First Mid Major! Well coached team with potential to cause mismatches, or be mismatched themselves.
11 Florida State University Logo Florida State quietly coming to form and becoming a darkhorse pick, very tall and lengthy team but potential to be upsetted.
12 Louisiana State University Logo LSU Not sure if they or the fbi will win, but another team that can be a darkhorse pick but also with the potential to lose early.
13 University at Buffalo Logo Buffalo have shown they can hang with the big bois, but with another chance for a s16 or even elite 8 run with this team.
14 Auburn University Logo Auburn the 4/5 seed no one wants to play, a team thats getting hot and playing like how they ranked earlier in the season.
15 Purdue University Logo Purdue A good, but declining team, with carson becoming more ball centric, could be a team losing in the first round.
16 Wofford College Logo Wofford a great 3pt shooting team with a top 10 offense, could be a trendy upset team as they have went undefeated in conf and could cause mismatchs
17 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech (T4) While if things go right they could make the deep run, the likelyhood of it happening probably won't happen, but don't underestimate
18 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Injured, which limits their potential, but this year is just a down year for the jayhawks, maybe E8 at best.
19 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada While they could go on a deep run, they have not shown the capability to what so ever, however i think the team is too good despite that.
20 Villanova University Logo Villanova its villanova, what do you expect?
21 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State maybe a wildcard? im not so sure about this team but can be viable.
22 Murray State University Logo Murray State exciting team lead by star Ja Morent poised to pulling off an upset or two, they look pretty good and obviously will be a must watch
23 Kansas State University Logo Kansas State injuries will prevent them from probably making a deep run, but still can pull off a game or 2 nevertheless
24 Utah State University Logo Utah State my upset pick, trending upwards with potential for a s16 run, and probably the best team in the MW
25 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin It might or might not "happ"en but maybe a run?
