| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Virginia
|
How I'm ranking teams here: whole season resume with extra weight placed on March |
| 2 |
Texas Tech
|
Was the hottest team in the country last 2 months. Beard turned a rag-tag group of okay offensive players into a top 5 offense. #1 def too. |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 4 |
Duke
|
Top 2 resume but looked uninspired in March. |
| 5 |
Gonzaga
|
Dominated the regular season and took Tech to the wire in one of the better non-buzzer-beater games I've ever seen |
| 6 |
Auburn
|
Utterly amazing tournament run but their regular season was a few steps below the teams around it. |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
|
| 8 |
Purdue
|
|
| 9 |
North Carolina
|
Best of S16 teams. |
| 10 |
Tennessee
|
2nd best of S16 teams. |
| 11 |
Michigan
|
|
| 12 |
Florida State
|
|
| 13 |
LSU
|
|
| 14 |

Wofford
|
|
| 19 |
Maryland
|
|
| 20 |
Oregon
|
Played like a top 10 team late in the season but the whole body of work was orders of magnitude worse than other teams ranked here (SOR 56) |
| 21 |
Iowa
|
|
| 22 |
Villanova
|
Pretty big drop-off after Nova in combined March + regular season resume. |
| 23 |
Wisconsin
|
Poor showing in march but the best resume of any 1st-rd loss team. |
| 24 |
Kansas State
|
Struggled offensively without Dean Wade, were a top 15 team with him. |
| 25 |
Washington
|
