Submitted on Friday, October 19, 2018 at 9:12AM EDT
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kansas
|
Yeah they have DJ, Doke and KJ but I LOVE their guards Dotson, Grimes,Vick, Moore and my favorite Garrett, |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
I think this might be Mark Few's most talented bunch. Zach Norvell is an NBA player right now and ill sing it from the rooftops |
| 3 |
Kentucky
|
I'm higher on them than I normally am because they have 3 sophomores and Reid Travis. Experience pays off. |
| 4 |
Duke
|
The question is who is going to be #5. I think it should be Javin DeLaurier |
| 5 |
Virginia
|
I think Jay Huff needs to take the next step up but the rest of the pieces are here. looking to avenge |
| 6 |
Tennessee
|
I was high on them last year and I remain very high on them. Grant and Admiral rank among my favorite 1-2 combos |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
I think Cam Johnson makes a HUGE leap. I have a feeling this might be his team. |
| 8 |
Nevada
|
besides Kansas and Gonzaga I think they might be one of the deepest teams in the country. |
| 9 |
Villanova
|
Everyone including me thinks Paschall will take the next step to All American. However, I think Phil Booth is the go to guy early and often |
| 10 |
Kansas State
|
They nearly made the final four without Dean Wade. Well guess what i love Dean Wade and Barry Brown. |
| 11 |
Syracuse
|
I might be a fool but this is the year Cuse is back. Jalen Carey and Dolezaj i think are lynchpins |
| 12 |
Oregon
|
Payton Pritchard is the best point guard you don't immediately think of in America. |
| 13 |
Michigan State
|
Solid team and I love Langford but not sure if he can be the star to vault them past to the Elite 8 |
| 14 |
Auburn
|
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. I don't love Pearl as a Coach but there's a lot of talent here. So much hinges on Wiley |
| 15 |
Virginia Tech
|
Justin Robinson leads the "How are they still in school team". Chris Clarke is the best glue guy in America. |
| 16 |
TCU
|
This team will go as far as Jaylen Fisher takes them. I think that will be pretty damn far if he remains healthy |
| 17 |
Florida State
|
one name. MJ Walker. |
| 18 |
Michigan
|
three questions for me. Does Simpson learn how to shoot? does Eli Brooks take the step forward? Does Poole become go to guy #2 ? |
| 19 |
Florida
|
I love the Andrew Nembhard addition and Jalen Hudson is one of my favorite players in America. I think he's an All American |
| 20 |
Washington
|
I really like Mike Hopkins, I really like Noah Dickerson and Hameir Wright. I'm really high on this squad. Im interested to see Travis Rice. |
| 21 |
West Virginia
|
Esa Ahmad and Konate are the big names but I think Lamont West takes a giant leap forward. He's why I have them top 25. |
| 22 |
Marquette
|
I think their defense will be better than an absolute 0 and they still have Markus Howard. I'm high on them. |
| 23 |
Wisconsin
|
They still got Ethan "Hunt" Happ. So the mission of returning to the tournament is not impossible. i'll see myself out. |
| 24 |
Indiana
|
This is purely a bet on Archie Miller, Justin Smith and Romeo |
| 25 |
LSU
|
Tremont Waters is the definition of a jitterbug. I think Will Wade might have a stew cooking down there |
