Submitted on Sunday, December 31, 2017 at 11:58PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Michigan State
|
(1) |
| 2 |
Duke
|
(3) Was a toss up between them an Nova. Ultimately, Duke has looked impressive in their wins. Close though |
| 3 |
Villanova
|
(2) Butler shot lights out, but there were some defensive lapses |
| 4 |
West Virginia
|
(5) Every Big 12 road win is good. Still don't like their Non Conference schedule, but have looked impressive regardless. |
| 5 |
Arizona
|
(10) 3rd best player was hurt during that Bahamas trip. Zona has looked good against recent competition. I'd take them on a neutral court |
| 6 |
Virginia
|
(7) |
| 7 |
Arizona State
|
(6) |
| 8 |
Purdue
|
(9) |
| 9 |
Xavier
|
(8) |
| 10 |
Seton Hall
|
(15) |
| 11 |
Wichita State
|
(11) |
| 12 |
North Carolina
|
(12) |
| 13 |
Kansas
|
(16) Big 12 is going to be tough, but KU's AFH home court advantage will be a big player. De Sousa and Preston still not cleared |
| 14 |
Cincinnati
|
(17) |
| 15 |
Texas Tech
|
(19) |
| 16 |
Oklahoma
|
(20) 1 point road win at TCU. Young will ball out, but someone has to step up with him for OU to have a chance. Need to rebound as well. |
| 17 |
Texas A&M
|
(4) If they get healthy, they'll likely move right back up. Until then, they have fallen |
| 18 |
TCU
|
(14) 1 point loss in a game TCU controlled. Issue I have is FT shooting. |
| 19 |
Arkansas
|
(22) Too many people are sleeping on this team |
| 20 |
Tennessee
|
(18) Loss to Arkansas isn't that bad |
| 21 |
Creighton
|
(21) Lost to a team they were supposed to lose to. Not punishing a team because of that |
| 22 |
Kentucky
|
(23) |
| 23 |
Gonzaga
|
(24) |
| 24 |
Clemson
|
(UR) |
| 25 |
SMU
|
(UR) Others Considered: FSU, Miami, Houston, UCLA. and Michigan. Dropped: #13 Baylor (Have to get healthy to reconsider them) #25 Louisville |
