RankTeamReason
1 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Every week, my preseason poll will factor in a little bit less. And so far, UNC looks like the best team in the nation.
2 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky
3 Villanova University Logo Villanova
4 University of Kansas Logo Kansas
5 Duke University Logo Duke
6 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Austin Nichols who? The defense is as brilliant as ever,
7 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Solid wins over Florida and ISU. I think both are legit so I'm counting those as two quality wins.
8 Xavier University Logo Xavier Going to be an awesome game against Baylor on the 3rd. I'm hyped!
9 Baylor University Logo Baylor
10 University of Oregon Logo Oregon Turns out Baylor might be a little better than we thought
11 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana That loss against IPFW was concerning for sure, but I think it was more of a fluke than anything. Hats off to IPFW though, huge home win
12 Creighton University Logo Creighton Big East ain't messing around this year. Butler will be ranked a bit lower.
13 University of Arizona Logo Arizona I might be higher on Arizona than most but Butler is a solid team and Arizona still looks fine. Markkanen is a monster inside.
14 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA No joke, I was trying to type in UCLA to rank them but I was thinking about Lonzo Ball and accidentally typed in his name
15 University of Louisville Logo Louisville
16 Purdue University Logo Purdue
17 Butler University Logo Butler Butler, please be good to boost Northwestern's RPI
18 University of South Carolina Logo South Carolina
19 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Fifteen point loss to UNC and frankly, it should have been more
20 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's
21 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse
22 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State
23 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati
24 University of Florida Logo Florida
25 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State
