| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
A ton of talent, and a great blend of returning talent and freshman. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Lots of talent and experience. Lawson brothers are going to turn a lot of heads this year. Look at what they did in Memphis. |
| 3 |
Tennessee
|
Tons of experience and revenge on their minds for sure after Loyola. Williams and Schofield will be tough. |
| 4 |
Nevada
|
I ranking experience early. The Martin brothers coming back was a huge win, and this team should roll into March. |
| 5 |
Virginia
|
This team is going to have a chip on its shoulder after UMBC. Kyle Guy will lead a strong defensive squad. |
| 6 |
Gonzaga
|
Rui Hachimara and Killian Tillie are as tough a 1-2 as you'll find in college basketball. |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
Luke Maye will be a good leader for this team with a solid blend of experience and talent |
| 8 |
Villanova
|
The champs. They lost a lot, but have the next men up in Paschall and Booth |
| 9 |
Duke
|
I cant let them slide anymore. The experience scares me, but the talent is unreal. Think 2014 Kentucky who struggled early but made a run |
| 10 |
Auburn
|
They had a great team last year and get Purifoy back. Pearl is a great coach. |
| 11 |
Michigan
|
This team made the finals, and only lost Mo Wagner. Charles Matthew's is a star, and Beilein can coach. |
| 12 |
Michigan State
|
