thelongderek's Ballot for Preseason of 2019-20| 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
|
