RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky I put them here last year then they lost to UCLA. I wouldn't mind that happening again :). Fox makes my mouth water.
2 Villanova University Logo Villanova Might just be #1 if they had Spellman.
3 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina One time I played against Shea Rush, I was so proud to see him score his first points.
4 Duke University Logo Duke I almost put them at 5, but couldn't do it considering how good they've been missing so many guys. They should be #1 once healthy.
5 University of Kansas Logo Kansas We've had a pretty flat start imo. If Jackson and Lucas can get going, I would be very pleased.
6 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana They've had a great start, but I'm not ready to put them ahead of Kansas, yet. A win down the road vs UNC would be huge.
7 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Tenacious D
8 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Lauri was underrated, even as a 5 star, which is scary. Is Trier back or??
9 University of Oregon Logo Oregon Kind of like with Duke, I don't want to penalize them too much for not being completely healthy.
10 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse Can Kansas have AW3 back?
11 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin
12 University of Louisville Logo Louisville
13 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga
14 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia
15 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA Very fun team to watch, Ball and Leaf hit the ground running.
16 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State
17 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's
18 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Very wild and undisciplined at times which is strange for MSU. Bridges needs to take smarter shots and settle in.
19 Xavier University Logo Xavier Too many close calls vs teams they should be handling with more ease gets them here.
20 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas
21 University of Michigan Logo Michigan My second or third favorite team in cbb, I really hope they keep this up.
22 Creighton University Logo Creighton Exciting team to watch, I would be scared to play them and they already have a win over a top team.
23 Purdue University Logo Purdue I'm a little low on them, and Michigan playing so well is what bumped them down a spot from my preseason rankings.
24 University of Rhode Island Logo URI They got a good win over Cinny and played alright against Duke, which combine to raise them a spot.
25 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati
