Submitted on Sunday, December 30, 2018 at 8:49PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Michigan
|
(1) Still believe this is currently the best team in basketball. B1G play will be tough though |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
(2) Their defense continues to be amazing. ACC play will be fun to watch |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
(5) Moves up 2 spots because with Udoka back healthy, this team is very dangerous. |
| 4 |
Duke
|
(3) Fell due to KU moving up. Duke is still really good. |
| 5 |
Nevada
|
(4) Fell due to KU moving up. This is a final four caliber team. When will they lose is going to be a question asked a lot. |
| 6 |
Tennessee
|
(6) Only loss is to a fully healthy KU squad. Tennessee should win the SEC fairly easily. |
| 7 |
Gonzaga
|
(7) |
| 8 |
Michigan State
|
(8) |
| 9 |
Virginia Tech
|
(9) |
| 10 |
Texas Tech
|
(10) |
| 11 |
Auburn
|
(11) |
| 12 |
North Carolina
|
(12) |
| 13 |
Ohio State
|
(15) Moves up 2 spots. One was due to Wisconsin dropping, the other was due to a reevaluation of Iowa and going back and rewatching games |
| 14 |
Kentucky
|
(16) See above |
| 15 |
Florida State
|
(17) See Ohio State's explanation |
| 16 |
Iowa
|
(14) Dropped 2 spots due to going back and rewatching games. We'll learn really quick how good Iowa is in B1G play |
| 17 |
NC State
|
(20) Jumped 3 spots due me rewatching the Auburn game. That was a dominate performance. |
| 18 |
Wisconsin
|
(13) Dropped 5 spots due to loss vs WKU. Wisconsin didn't play well and will like rebound in B1G play. |
| 19 |
Iowa State
|
(18) Dropped 1 spot due to NC State moving up. Big 12 play will be where I learn whether I'm way too high on iSU, or everyone is too low. |
| 20 |
Houston
|
(19) Made room for NCST, hence falling 1 spot. |
| 21 |
Mississippi State
|
(21) |
| 22 |
Nebraska
|
(22) |
| 23 |
Indiana
|
(23) |
| 24 |
Marquette
|
(24) |
| 25 |
Buffalo
|
(UR) Also considered: Oklahoma, Kansas State, TCU, Villanova, and Cincinatti |
