FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Duke
|
Likely 4 starting freshman could take some time to develop, but they have all the talent in the world including Zion the savior |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
This might be Gonzaga's best team yet - A scary team from last year's NCAAs who lost Williams, but Crandall could be a stud |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
A lot of new faces in Lawrence, but they should be as talented as anyone in the country |
| 4 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 5 |
Virginia
|
Yes, they lost to UMBC in a terrible upset last season, but they still bring back a ton of talent from the number one overall seed |
| 6 |
Nevada
|
So much returning talent from one of the most fun teams to watch last season |
| 7 |
Villanova
|
They lost so much from last season's Championship team, but hard not to trust Jay Wright to reload with a young team |
| 8 |
Kentucky
|
Per usual, a very young UK squad is trying to rebound off a down year, but they have too much talent to not start in the top10 |
| 9 |
Tennessee
|
One of the best defenses in the country last season and they look to be back - Wouldn't be shocked to see them take the SEC this year |
| 10 |
Michigan
|
Coming off a runner-up performance, this team should have the depth to take the BIG crown in what could be a down year for the conference |
| 11 |
Michigan State
|
The state of Michigan looks ready to run away with the BIG |
| 12 |
Florida
|
The pivotal player for this season is Andrew Nembhard and our success likely based on how well he can take over for the loss of Chiozza |
| 13 |
West Virginia
