Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Ohio State | Tier 1: Really separated from the pack |
2 | Louisville | |
3 | Maryland | Tier 2: Maryland doesn't have anywhere near the quality wins of the top 2. |
4 | Kansas | Tier 3: These teams are all going to lose a good amount of games this year (except Gonzaga) but will probably stick around in the top 10 |
5 | Michigan | (cont.) because everyone sucks this year. |
6 | Gonzaga | |
7 | Virginia | |
8 | Auburn | |
9 | Duke | |
10 | Kentucky | |
11 | Baylor | |
12 | Butler | Tier 4: Still not entirely sold on these teams yet, but they seem good. |
13 | Arizona | |
14 | Dayton | |
15 | Tennessee | |
16 | Oregon | |
17 | San Diego State | Tier 5: My odds on favorite to go undefeated the longest is SDSU, but they haven't really played anyone. Much like most of the teams here. |
18 | Memphis | |
19 | Colorado | |
20 | Oklahoma | |
21 | Xavier | |
22 | Indiana | |
23 | Florida State | |
24 | Wichita State | Starting with Villanova, Tier 6: Possibly better teams than tier 5, but they haven't really shown it yet. |
25 | Villanova | 26. Texas 27. Marquette 28. Purdue 29. Michigan St. 30. North Carolina |
