Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan State | Head and shoulders above the rest of the other teams. |
2 | Kansas | |
3 | Louisville | |
4 | Kentucky | UK is always scary to rank so high because they're always so young. Sometimes they struggle a bit to start the season. We'll see. |
5 | Florida | |
6 | Duke | Not as high on Duke as most others. They'll still be good but they lose arguably the best trio in the country. |
7 | North Carolina | |
8 | Maryland | A bit skeptical of them as a top 10 team but I'm leaving them here for now. |
9 | Gonzaga | |
10 | Seton Hall | My favorite in the Big East over Villanova this year. |
11 | Virginia | |
12 | Villanova | |
13 | Texas Tech | |
14 | Baylor | |
15 | Oregon | |
16 | Ohio State | |
17 | Xavier | |
18 | Purdue | |
19 | Memphis | Not sold on this team like many others. They're still favorites for the AAC title but it won't be easy. |
20 | Saint Mary's | Could Gonzaga finally have a legitimate challenger for the regular season WCC title? |
21 | Arizona | |
22 | Utah State | |
23 | Marquette | |
24 | Auburn | |
25 | Houston |
