Submitted on Monday, November 12, 2018 at 12:48AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kansas
|
(Last Week on My Ballot: 1) Solid, competitive game vs MSU, D. Lawson is a great addition |
| 2 |
Duke
|
(5) Lots of fun to watch Duke's freshmen tear UK apart, but I think an experienced Kansas team would handle them better than young Kentucky |
| 3 |
Gonzaga
|
(3) With Duke jumping to 2 and UK falling, no reason for me to move the Bulldogs |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
(4) Same story as Gonzaga |
| 5 |
Virginia
|
(7) Virginia is going to be under a lot pressure to make a Final Four again this year - let's hope they don't get matched with UMBC. |
| 6 |
Nevada
|
(6) Wolf Pack pulled out a win against a good BYU team, but if they keep playing close games it'll catch up. Caleb Martin is a machine. |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
(8) Wofford had to have some Tar Heel fans experiencing some bad deja vu, but they pulled it out. |
| 8 |
Tennessee
|
(10) Vols have a deadly starting 5. SEC should be fun this year. |
| 9 |
Auburn
|
(12) The Tigers dominated a ranked Washington team. Color me impressed. |
| 10 |
Michigan State
|
(9) The Spartans may have lost, but they challenged #1 Kansas. Still think they're a top 10 team. Bounced back well against FGCU. |
| 11 |
Kentucky
|
(2) BBN, did you guys see that Duke game on opening night? The Wildcats weren't prepared for the Blue Devils... or SIU for that matter. |
| 12 |
Oregon
|
(13) "I LOVE MY DUCKS!" Good warm-up wins. |
| 13 |
Kansas State
|
(11) Next Big XII Champs?! I'll keep my money on Kansas. |
| 14 |
Virginia Tech
|
(14) I really like Buzz Williams and the Hokies. Will Chris Clarke come back? |
| 15 |
UCLA
|
(16) "ASIAN GIRLS EVERYWHERE!" Struggled a bit defensively with LBSU, but that doesn't matter when your whole team can score. |
| 16 |
Florida State
|
(17) I had Florida ranked last week, but the Seminoles convinced me otherwise. Is Tulane good this year? |
| 17 |
Michigan
|
(19) Congrats to JB on his 800th win. B1G is gonna be solid with Michigan, MSU, Purdue, and OSU, among others. |
| 18 |
Mississippi State
|
(20) Weatherspoons along with 2 more dangerous guards and solid big man in Holman. Why's it called The Hump? |
| 19 |
Syracuse
|
(23) I currently live in Upstate NY. I'll have to get out to the Carrier Dome to see if I'm underrating the Orange in person. |
| 20 |
TCU
|
(15) TCU has injuries, and I think they'll be competitive in the Big XII, but beating CSU Bakersfield by 5 has to be an eye opener. |
| 21 |
Clemson
|
(26) Not in my Preseason Top 25, but that doesn't matter now. Don't lose track of Clemson in the ACC race. |
| 22 |
LSU
|
(28) Why is the SEC so good at everything? Also, why do they like pom poms so much? I need answers! |
| 23 |
Buffalo
|
(30) WV learned a lesson, "Mess with the Bulls and you'll get the horns." CJ Massinburg is a beast... no bull. Okay, I'll stop with the BS |
| 24 |
Purdue
|
(NR) Kinda forgot about Purdue's overall ability with loses of Swanigan, Haas, and Mathias... whoops. Top 10 in the nickname game though. |
| 25 |
West Virginia
|
(18) Buffalo broke "Press Virginia" but I still think they're Top 25 material. DROPPED: LOY-CHI(21), FLA(22), Providence(24), UCF(25) |
