RankTeamReason
1 Duke University Logo Duke Preseason polls are a joke.
2 Villanova University Logo Villanova Don't ask me for my reasoning. There isn't any for this poll.
3 University of Kansas Logo Kansas I'll have valid reasoning for all my other polls.
4 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky But with preseason, I have no idea what I'm doing.
5 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina I'm basically just combining the KenPom rankings and coaches poll.
6 University of Oregon Logo Oregon So enjoy my very generic poll with no surprises whatsoever!
7 University of Virginia Logo Virginia My poll usually has a surprise or two most other weeks of the season, though.
8 Xavier University Logo Xavier I usually don't pay much attention to recruiting and stuff.
9 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Except for PSU. Our incoming class is awesome!
10 University of Arizona Logo Arizona I want to rank us so badly, but I'm not THAT optimistic.
11 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Maybe later this season though. (plz)
12 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Oh who am I kidding, we'll lose by 40 to Duke.
13 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana And go like 1-20 from 3 in a B1G game we should win.
14 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse That happens at least once EVERY SEASON.
15 Purdue University Logo Purdue But anyway, back to my random musings about preseason polls!
16 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga These things are such a crapshoot.
17 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's There are so many different variables that change from year to year.
18 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia It's just too much to predict when everyone is almost always wrong anyway.
19 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA Hypothetical numbers mean nothing. What happens on the court is all that matters.
20 University of Connecticut Logo UConn I'm so dedicated to following CBB during the regular season.
21 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati But during the offseason...not so much.
22 Creighton University Logo Creighton Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed my thoughts! If you read them, anyway.
23 University of Rhode Island Logo URI I'm just more interested in seeing other people's polls that they actually put thought into.
24 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Looking forward to making these polls once some games actually happen, though!
25 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State And as always. LET'S GO PSU!
