Submitted on Thursday, October 24, 2019 at 6:20PM EDT
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Michigan State
|
Michigan State of course brings back the mean man to hurt me again |
| 2 |
Florida
|
I like them a lot more than most I assume with the VT grad transfer |
| 3 |
Kentucky
|
(I had this saved with my reasoning, then submitted it and the whole app disappeared) |
| 4 |
Louisville
|
(so this will be a bit lighter on the details) Louisville looks great with some stud freshman |
| 5 |
Duke
|
less star power but greater potential to be balanced, and jones is back as PG |
| 6 |
Kansas
|
can you please be sanctioned to hell already |
| 7 |
Gonzaga
|
another foreign kid who balled out in FIBA, this time from Mali, Few has the tools to make another deep march run |
| 8 |
Virginia
|
who needs offense when no one will score 50 on you |
| 9 |
Villanova
|
Jay Wright is a smart guy with some 5 stars, plus they lost early this last year so that means natty right? |
| 10 |
Texas Tech
|
tortilla rebuild, only 2 guys come back from the national runner up squad, very boom or bust |
| 11 |
Oregon
|
leading the Pac-12 out of near mid major level play should be the ducks with their recruiting class and grad transfers |
| 12 |
Seton Hall
|
Myles Powell, this ones for you discord goblins |
| 13 |
North Carolina
|
with the NCAA finally not breathing down their necks the recruiting classes are picking up plus the Grad Transfers and returning players = $ |
| 14 |
Memphis
|
biggest boom potential, biggest bust potential |
| 15 |
Maryland
|
Turgeon aint winning you much lets pump the brakes kids |
| 16 |
Utah State
|
mid major darling of the year, with Nevada dead they should run away with a decent Mountain West |
| 17 |
Ohio State
|
Homer pick, Holtmann has a great class and the 2 players that really did anything for us are coming back so....kinda nice |
| 18 |
Houston
|
late addition with Grimes, it remains to be seen how much of an impact he'll have but this should make Houston AAC contenders |
| 19 |
Baylor
|
id have to look at their roster again to remember what i liked exactly but i do know theyre gonna help Kansas win the Big 12 again |
| 20 |
Arizona
|
thank god nobody really came back, that team was a disaster. 2 wunderkind guards should lead back to at least the tourney, maybe even round2 |
| 21 |
Saint Mary's
|
sorry Dep |
| 22 |
Marquette
|
imagine if the Houser twins didnt transfer lmao |
| 23 |
LSU
|
Will Wade might be a dirty cheater but hes still a good coach; cheater = unproven, coaching = proven |
| 24 |
Washington
|
a nice recruiting class to hopefully build upon their success from last year, only difference is that Pac should be so bad |
| 25 |
Davidson
|
i like them more than VCU, not by a lot, but more. |
