Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan State | Returning that many players from a Final Four team and adding a few studs, #1 |
2 | Kentucky | |
3 | Kansas | |
4 | Florida | This team might be the most complete team besides Michigan State |
5 | Duke | |
6 | Louisville | |
7 | Seton Hall | Really like this team, and if they had a blue blood as their name people would be higher on them |
8 | North Carolina | |
9 | Gonzaga | Them beating MSU in a scrimmage certainly caught my eye, but hard to judge solely based off that |
10 | Maryland | |
11 | Oregon | |
12 | Virginia | |
13 | Villanova | |
14 | LSU | This team to me looks a lot better than top 20, only issue is will Will Wade coach the whole season? |
15 | Ohio State | Chris Holtmann is turning OSU into a power house, I see them replacing Michigan as a B1G top team |
16 | Memphis | Memphis is by far the most volatile team in the top 25, this could be WAY too low or WAY too high |
17 | Baylor | |
18 | Saint Mary's | Game #1 could tell us a lot whether this is legit or not |
19 | Utah State | |
20 | Xavier | |
21 | Purdue | |
22 | Auburn | |
23 | Texas Tech | I'm much lower on Tech than most, and believe that a lot of the reason they are so high is respect from last year. |
24 | VCU | |
25 | Florida State |
