RankTeamReason
1 Villanova University Logo Villanova Balanced, complete, and vaporize everyone they play
2 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Post-Duke Sparty is a death machine
3 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Can just pull a big run out of their ass at anytime against anyone
4 Arizona State University Logo Arizona State Yet another P6 win with an epic comeback
5 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) Love their team, but a brutal case of "ain't played nobody"
6 Xavier University Logo Xavier I thought they were overrated based of the elite 8 run. I was wrong
7 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Exactly the West Virginia that's one so many games the past few years
8 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Ahhh at long lost a good looking win over VT, still have no good read on this team
9 Duke University Logo Duke The exam break came at a weird time, but the front court is still terrifying
10 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M Speaking of terrifying front courts, the Davis-Hogg-Williams group is fantastic
11 Texas Christian University Logo TCU The one team I really need to see, it's a pretty good looking 10-0 though
12 Purdue University Logo Purdue Like another team below, have recovered nicely from their Atlantis stumbles
13 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Trae Young doesn't care about your Buddy comparisons, or your defenses
14 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech Still one of the teams that pleasantly surprised me when watching on TV
15 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State A good team without McDuffie, can he make them a great one?
16 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Watching the defense in person is a site to behold, they play their asses off
17 University of Kansas Logo Kansas I'm still not ready to write them off, this is a brand bias but I think a justified one
18 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati Still one of the better Cincinnati teams of the Croninberg era
19 Baylor University Logo Baylor I thought they'd miss Motley a lot more than they have
20 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Don't look now but they are coming back in a hurry
21 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall Still my favorite non Nova-X team by a long shot
22 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga They've rebuilt pretty nicely given the roster turnover
23 Clemson University Logo Clemson Manhandled both Ohio State and Florida in their own gyms, stay tuned
24 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas A bit under the radar, but this is yet another solid Hogs team
25 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee UGH, so damn close. I like them defending their home court in SEC play though
