Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Wisconsin | Easily the best-looking team last year. One of the best teams to watch if you like good basketball everyday. Many key players are back too. |
2 | Kentucky | As much as I hate them there is no denying that they are going to be good. |
3 | Arizona | Do I really need to explain why? |
4 | Duke | same as above |
5 | Kansas | ditto |
6 | Louisville | This team is always exceeding my expectations, and I usually have already high expectations. |
7 | Florida | |
8 | North Carolina | |
9 | Virginia | This year they have a target on their backs. It'll be tough to repeat the season they had last year. |
10 | Iowa State | This team showed flashes of pure greatness last year, and I won't surprised if that is more consistent this year. |
11 | Texas | Any team with all five starters returning should be good. These guys had some good recruiting as well. |
12 | Villanova | |
13 | Wichita State | |
14 | UConn | I would put them higher, but I think this team will struggle early in the season. |
15 | Gonzaga | |
16 | VCU | |
17 | San Diego State | |
18 | Michigan State | |
19 | Ohio State | |
20 | Michigan | |
21 | Memphis | This team is more dangerous than people know. |
22 | Syracuse | |
23 | SMU | |
24 | Iowa | |
25 | Pitt | Next 5: Nebraska, Harvard, K-state, UNM, Minnesota |
