nojeanshere's Ballot for Preseason of 2019-20| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan State
|
Returning most of their core from last year's Final Four Run MSU is poised to be a tough team to beat especially with Cassius Winston. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Once again KU back at the top with Devon Dotson coming in for his sophomore year the Kansas will hopefully get the Big 12 winstreak back |
| 3 |
Kentucky
|
Even with 4 returning core players UK looks good enough to make a deep tournament run with another strong recruiting class |
| 4 |
Florida
|
With the transfer of Big Man Kerry Blackshear Jr. there seems to be an extremely good chance the Gators challenge Kentucky for the SEC Crown |
| 5 |
Duke
|
Even with the loss of the "Holy Trio" from last year Coach K has brought in another strong recruiting class and the return of Tre Jones. |
| 6 |
Louisville
|
With the return of Jordan Nwora and lack of loss in any other players Chris Mack seems to have a good path to a potential ACC championship |
| 7 |
Maryland
|
With only the loss of Bruno Fernando the Terps have everyone from last years squad back and at full health. Big 10 needs to watch out. |
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
With the loss of almost all of last years squad UNC was gonna be potentially not as good but a very strong recruiting class puts them on top |
| 9 |
Gonzaga
|
With a loss of two of their core players Gonzaga is a little worse than last year but Mark Few is a phenomenal coach so I have no worries. |
| 10 |
Virginia
|
Even with the loss of their leaders Diakite will most likely lead this team and their sp00ky defense to another tournament birth/ |
