| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 North Carolina
|
National champs should start at the top. And they deserve it. They have recruited better than most believe. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
Potential. Potential. Potential. Watch their starting 5 be gone next summer, probably by the lottery/mid first round |
| 3 |
Oregon
|
There is always hype for the ducks. This year they deserve it. |
| 4 |
Gonzaga
|
Lost a tough one to UNC last year. Their team is still strong. Their conference isn't too difficult. They haven't fallen off like Wisconsin. |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
Should breeze the Big XII. Their recruitment team is so strong. |
| 6 |
Kentucky
|
Recruiting beasts. |
| 7 |
Villanova
|
Had a bad tournament but still were first seeds. This year will be harder for them but they are still quality. Philly's best |
| 8 |
Wichita State
|
It shouldn't be a shock that they are a top 10 team. |
| 9 |
Florida State
|
|
| 10 |
Minnesota
|
No bias. But we have potential. |

By far the best in the Summit League. Their record might over rate them but they should be up there come March. |
| 23 |
Purdue
|
Should be a good battle in the (boiler)making in the B1G West. Purdue will easily make the tournament. |
| 24 |
La Salle
|
They will be much improved from last year. Possible A10 champs. |
| 25 |
Baylor
