DeificWhiteBoy's Ballot for Preseason of 2019-20| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan State
|
No doubt the best team in the country on paper after what they did last year and what they have returning |
| 2 |
Kentucky
|
|
| 3 |
Louisville
|
Louisville’s combination on returning upperclassmen and recruiting class give them the edge over Duke and Kansas |
| 4 |
Duke
|
|
| 5 |
Kansas
|
|
| 6 |
Maryland
|
Maryland couldn’t find success in the tournament last year but the team is better than what they showed. Expecting a 2 seed from them |
| 7 |
Florida
|
|
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 9 |
Virginia
|
|
| 10 |
Gonzaga
|
I have them ranked lower than the AP because we seem to always see the same thing from the Zags. They’ll climb with midmajor wins |
| 11 |
Villanova
|
|
| 12 |
Texas Tech
|
Should be ranked higher than in AP with that defensive scheme and what they managed to do in the tournament |
| 13 |
Oregon
|
|
| 14 |
Memphis
|
|
| 15 |
Seton Hall
|
They will have to prove their self to me and show last year wasn’t a fluke |
| 16 |
Baylor
|
|
| 17 |
Ohio State
|
|
| 18 |
Utah State

LSU

|
| 24 |
Purdue
|
|

Washington

Putting Washington in over VCU based on who they have chances to beat in conference. VCU could easily slide in soon |
