Rank	Team	Reason
1	Kansas	Returning pieces and top recruits are the recipe for success in the current climate. And Kansas is one of only a few teams that has both.
2	Kentucky	Grad transfer Reid Travis is a huge factor in why they are ranked so high. As much of a contender as exists right now.
3	Tennessee	Returning basically everyone. I'm going to keep them this high until they give me a reason not to.
4	Duke	As usual for Duke with tons of freshman, I predict early season struggles followed by later success.
5	Gonzaga	The shortened WCC conference schedule will get them more respectable non-conference wins.
6	Virginia	Virginia is always great, with or without the talent to justify it.
7	Auburn	People are underrating them because of Bruce Pearl. They've got the pieces to win the national championship if they have chemistry.
8	North Carolina	Lots of veterans including Luke Maye are back. If Maye could become a NPOTY contender I could see top 3 for UNC. But I find that unlikely.
9	Nevada	Every good non-con team they scheduled is a road game. They'll have to go nearly undefeated to justify a top 10 finish. They will.
10	Villanova	No idea. They lost everyone. But I think Jay Wright deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point.
11	Kansas State
12	Michigan State
13	West Virginia
14	Oregon
15	Virginia Tech
16	Florida State
17	Michigan
18	Mississippi State
19	UCLA
20	Cincinnati
21	Clemson
22	Syracuse
23	Indiana
24	TCU
25	LSU
