| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kansas
|
dedric lawson was great. if MSU hadn't been so turnover prone, they may have pulled that off, though. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
debated #1. unpleasent trend - rest of team appears to be a liability. fouls could be a problem. |
| 3 |
Gonzaga
|
handled business |
| 4 |
Virginia
|
jerome and guy look fantastic. diakite needs to get his shit together already. |
| 5 |
Tennessee
|
much like auburn, they just look ready to play right now. team gels well. |
| 6 |
North Carolina
|
+60 since wofford tied it in the middle of the second half. seem to have found their rythmn after a rough first half of game 1. |
| 7 |
Auburn
|
blew the doors of u-dub. moved em up on quality of play. |
| 8 |
Villanova
|
looking like another jay wright sleeper squad. wont be surprised if they hit #1 at some point |
| 9 |
Nevada
|
wasnt sold on this pick to start the year, and after watching two games, im even less inclined to believe in them. |
| 10 |
Kansas State
|
should be good, need bigger sample size. |
| 11 |
Virginia Tech
|
Has got to figure out this turnover thing. it killed them last year. they are SO good otherwise. |
| 12 |
Oregon
|
car broke down on west coast this week so i got to watch all the west coast games. oregon is way better than i thought. |
| 13 |
Kentucky
|
They may be decent by the end of the year, but as of right now, they are straight ass. no teamplay, no defense, sloppy with the ball. |
| 14 |
Syracuse
|
battle/brissett have looked fantastic to start the year. |
| 15 |
Florida State
|
big win over florida to start the year |
| 16 |
Michigan State
|
probably a bit harsh considering they almost came back against KU, but aside from UK, no one else has had any major hiccups. |
| 17 |
Michigan
|
offensively they need some serious work. defensively they look rock solid. |
| 18 |
Mississippi State
|
low sample size, should be very good this year. |
| 19 |
Clemson
|
another team with a very high ceiling. good start to the year |
| 20 |
West Virginia
|
did not look good against buffalo. |
| 21 |
LSU
|
did not look like a good team against uncg. foul line saved them, quite literally. their defense is pretty bad, lots of wide open shots. |
| 22 |
Purdue
|
carsen should be able to take them a long ways this year, but he's gonna need some help at some point |
| 23 |
Indiana
|
so far so good. big game with marquette coming up |
| 24 |
Marquette
|
same situation as indiana, and big game with them on the 14th. i'll have something to watch while binge playing fallout 76. |
| 25 |
Buffalo
|
so many teams could be here, but their road win over wvu was a big deal. nebraska, tcu, ucla right here as well. |
