Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | One sentence on each team: Maxey is a boss. |
2 | Louisville | Should probably be favored to win the ACC. |
3 | Duke | Kansas game was sloppy for both teams and I'm not sold on the freshmen yet. |
4 | Kansas | Moss in a Jayhawk uni looks so weird to me after having seen him at Iowa for so long. |
5 | Michigan State | Slow start for Watts. |
6 | Virginia | They'll be fine. |
7 | Memphis | Not dropping them until they officially decide Wiseman isn't playing. |
8 | North Carolina | Bacot won't always be this bad but Anthony won't always be this good. |
9 | Villanova | Looks like a Wright team alright. |
10 | Gonzaga | So much for not being unstoppable on offense. |
11 | Florida | Well Blackshear showed up but where's everyone else? |
12 | Seton Hall | I just realized Mamukelashvili is only a junior. |
13 | Texas Tech | Moretti's the guy now. |
14 | Utah State | Early scare, but Queta still hasn't played a minute. |
15 | Saint Mary's | Looking as good as last year, probably because it's the same exact team as last year. |
16 | Washington | Early results suggest Hopkins is, indeed, a good coach. |
17 | Texas | My favorite thing about small sample size is that it spits out stuff like Texas having 2 players with PRPG! on the level of '11 Kemba. |
18 | Oregon | Ditto Oregon, where Pritchard is currently playing the best I've ever seen him play, and before you ask, Pasch, I've seen him a lot! |
19 | Maryland | Losing faith in them by the minute. |
20 | Arizona | Clearly underrated these guys and overrated Illinois. |
21 | Ohio State | Looking for Carton to heat up. |
22 | Marquette | Yeah, who needs the Hausers? |
23 | Colorado | Love when conference games don't count as conference games. |
24 | VCU | Turning the ball over way too often for a team that doesn't have the offensive firepower to afford giving up possessions. |
25 | Providence | Another loaded, experienced Big East team, outperforming expectations by a mile early on. |
