| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Duke
|
Won the PK80, looked shaky while doing it, but they did it. Most talented team in the country. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Didn't play anybody during Feast Week, did what they needed to do though. |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
Won the PK80, pretty dominant throughout. Held UNC to a historically low shooting % (UNC did themselves no favors) |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
Won Battle4Atlantis, didn't really get to play the level of talent they should have but they can't help that. |
| 5 |
Florida
|
2nd in the PK80, lost a heartbreaker to Duke. Very very good team. |
| 6 |
Notre Dame
|
Looked great in Maui, beat the user poll #6 team in the championship |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
Like Kansas, wasn't in a tourney. Did what they were supposed to do. |
| 8 |
Texas A&M
|
Obliterated (9) USC on the road, probably the best true road win of the non-con |
| 9 |
Wichita State
|
Went down 18 to Cal in Maui, bounced back to play ND close in the championship but threw the game away. |
| 10 |
Cincinnati
|
Won the Cayman Islands Dumpster Fire, how are they not in a better Thanksgiving tourney? |
| 11 |
Miami (FL)
|
Played an ugly game with La Salle, but ended up doing what they needed to do |
| 12 |
Minnesota
|
Beat (25) Alabama who went down to 3 guys for 10 minutes in the weirdest game you'll ever see |
| 13 |
North Carolina
|
Dominated the first 2 rounds of the PK80, got dominated in the championship. Worst shooting night in program history :( |
| 14 |
Gonzaga
|
Tough loss to Florida in PK semis. Close win over Texas who also took Duke to OT. |
| 15 |
Baylor
|
Big week beating two good teams in Wisconsin and Creighton |
| 16 |
Louisville
|
No tourney, have looked a little shaky but they keep winning |
| 17 |
Virginia
|
Dominated Vandy and a good URI team in the NIT Tip Off. Looking better on the offensive end. |
| 18 |
USC
|
Steep drop but they got obliterated on their home court, second team that A&M has done this to |
| 19 |
Alabama
|
Played a close one with a great mid major in UT Arlington, played with a lot of heart after going down to 3 men against Minnesota |
| 20 |
Xavier
|
Got throttled by Arizona State, their big road win over Wisconsin is probably the only thing keeping them here |
| 21 |
West Virginia
|
Won the Advocate Invitational, looked very shaky and even went down big to Mizzou but pulled it out |
| 22 |
Texas Tech
|
Did what they were supposed to do after smoking Northwestern |
| 23 |
Arizona State
|
Throttled (13) Xavier, definitely have to move them in |
| 24 |
Seton Hall
|
Dropped a close one to a very good URI team, still have one of the best front courts in the country |
| 25 |
Nevada
|
They keep winning, beat a very good URI team earlier this year (Arizona, Purdue, Arkansas, Creighton considered) |
