wolverheel's Ballot for Preseason of 2017-18| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan State
|
Likely the best player in the country playing with a ridiculous surrounding cast and a deep bench. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
I don't see how a team with Carter, Trent, and Duval won't contend for the title. I think Allen returns to form too. |
| 3 |
Arizona
|
I see one more good run before the scandal hits. Trier returning is huge and I think Ayton will be th emost dominant frosh in the NCAA. |
| 4 |
Wichita State
|
31-5 #8 kenpom team that barely lost to Kentucky in the tourney returns practically everyone. |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
I wouldn't be shocked if Newman became a star with good coaching and actual players around him. |
| 6 |
Kentucky
|
Nearly have an NBA starting lineup of freshmen. They might have the fiercest frontcourt in the country next season. |
