Submitted on Sunday, October 27, 2019 at 3:54PM EDT
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Michigan State
|
Tier 1: Potential best player in CBB, A top starting 5 and really deep team along with a HoF coach, the ceiling is the Breslins Roof |
| 2 |
Louisville
|
2-6 can be placed in any order, but with Nwora and a veteran group, this can be a serious threat in the national landscape |
| 3 |
Kentucky
|
another year where there will be pressure from fans to win a title, but this crew certainly has a shot like any other |
| 4 |
Duke
|
I like Tre, but the other freshman aren't as good or dynamic as the last years class and that could be a problem |
| 5 |
Texas Tech
|
While they might not be top 5 at the start of the year, beard has established himself to develop teams into top 10 in both areas by the end. |
| 6 |
Kansas
|
Depends on health of Doke first off, and secondly this team doesn't really have anything redeeming compared to the others to warrent a rise. |
| 7 |
Villanova
|
Tier 2: A younger crew under Wright, but with his caliber he will develop them into national contenders once again |
| 8 |
Seton Hall
|
With the best scorer and a veteran team, the Pirates are poised to have big asperations this season and could make a statement vs MSU |
| 9 |
North Carolina
|
I heard Carmelo Anthony's brother plays for this team and hes pretty good, maybe the next zion idk. |
| 10 |
Gonzaga
|
Apparently they won vs msu in a secret scrimmage they must be good? Anyways another solid zaga team that could make some noise |
| 11 |
Auburn
|
While losing some of their key players from the f4 team, they will be still a dynamic team to watch with the potential for a deep run |
| 12 |
Baylor
|
A solid wild card team both in the big 12 and contender race, early test vs nova (likely) will be very telling of where they're at |
| 13 |
LSU
|
This team has talent that might not be names, but will be good enough to keep them in the national conversation throughout the year |
| 14 |
Oregon
|
This team is very devisive, on the one hand they bring in a bunch of talent from a s16 darling, on the other they lose players from their.. |
| 15 |
Virginia
|
Expect a rise as they build to become a more balanced team as others fall in the process. |
| 16 |
Florida
|
Tier 3: One word; Unproven, while the addition of blackshere helps, they don't have a proven offense to make themselves a national threat |
| 17 |
Houston
|
Grimes addition isn't as big in my opinion, but solid coaching and roster makes them a solid dark horse. |
| 18 |
Harvard
|
Returning most of the roster that won the ivy, harvard has the potential to be this years Buffalo or Wofford and shock teams |
| 19 |
Maryland
|
They have a top 10 talent for sure, but Turdgeon isnt the guy that will elevate them to play like their talent unfortunately. |
| 20 |
Utah State
|
The real threats of the MW, this team could be a sleeper final 4 pick and a fun team to watch |
| 21 |
Ohio State
|
Tier 4: I think they will rise too, but coming off a disappointing last year it will be hard at the start |
| 22 |
Memphis
|
This team could either be like 15 UK, or like 16 MSU, no inbetweens |
| 23 |
Saint Mary's
|
Return almost everyone from last year and could be a sleeper pick |
| 24 |
Purdue
|
This team again will probably rise but i just like the others ahead of them, depends on how will Eastern grows |
| 25 |
VCU
|
Next 6:Oklahoma, Wichita State, Creighton, DePaul, UNC Greensboro, Xaiver |
