RankTeamReason
1 Duke University Logo Duke Rankings are my exact seed order. With Zion back and 2 wins over UVA, this is an easy choice
2 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Maybe the FSU loss is a nice reset for them
3 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Hopefully the committee does not rob UNC of the 1 seed they are
4 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Not a great look to lose to St Mary's by 13, but Tennessee/Auburn bailed them out
5 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Did very well despite serious injury trouble throughout the season
6 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee Let the 1 seed slip right through their hands
7 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky I do not want them in my bracket
8 University of Michigan Logo Michigan 0-3 vs MSU. Ouch.
9 Florida State University Logo Florida State Quietly had a great season
10 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech Pretty tough 3 seed, but the loss to WVU warrants it
11 University of Houston Logo Houston Let's see if they can avoid losing on a buzzer beater this year
12 Louisiana State University Logo LSU Don't feel good about them being coached by an assistant, but they had a helluva year considering how it started
13 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech I've been high on them all year. Blackshear's footwork makes my feet hurt
14 Purdue University Logo Purdue I feel a r32 loss coming
15 University of Kansas Logo Kansas If you told me before the season that my final ranking for KU would be 15, I probably would have shot you, and then myself in the head :)
16 Auburn University Logo Auburn Got hot at the right time
17 Villanova University Logo Villanova Retained ownership of the Big East and also the property in my head
18 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati Thanks for beating Wichita
19 Kansas State University Logo Kansas State Wade being iffy is a concern. Bruce Weber dancing bear.
20 University at Buffalo Logo Buffalo Better than the Bills
21 Wofford College Logo Wofford Take 2 shots every time McGee takes an off balance 3, try not to get alcohol poisoning
22 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada Rough ending to the year
23 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State I would put them higher, but I fully expect them to choke in the real tournament along with the rest of the Big 12
24 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Whoever they play, bet the under
25 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland I really wish Mark Turgeon were a better coach than he is
