Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | San Diego State | Considering the lack of tournament, I'm gonna make my poll more based around what teams impressed me the most this season. |
2 | Kansas | Basically nothing would change in my poll from last week if I didn't look at it this way. |
3 | Dayton | I'm gonna highlight some teams who had some great moments this season. |
4 | Gonzaga | To begin with, I thought the story of this season was San Diego State. Their undefeated run looked more and more impressive as the year went |
5 | Creighton | on. While their season didn't end the way I'm sure they wanted, I still think what they accomplished is the most impressive thing. |
6 | Florida State | Kansas had a phenomenal season but I can't help but feel part of their late surge was Baylor's collapse. The beatdown Baylor gave them |
7 | Baylor | makes me lack confidence asserting they were the best team like almost every one will. Maybe I'm wrong. |
8 | Villanova | Their great game against Dayton was a highlight of the season for sure though. |
9 | Seton Hall | The Big East as a whole bounced back greatly this year at the top, with Providence's late surge being a highlight as well |
10 | Maryland | |
11 | Louisville | The ACC at its worst still managed some quality teams but we'll never know how good they truly were |
12 | Duke | |
13 | Michigan State | |
14 | Oregon | Pritchard would probably be my pick for PotY if I had to choose one... I don't think anyone was as clutch or game-changing as him |
15 | Kentucky | The top of the SEC was down but these two still held pretty steady despite some shaky performances |
16 | Auburn | |
17 | Virginia | The way Tony Bennett revived the UVA season was among the best coaching jobs for sure |
18 | Wisconsin | |
19 | Providence | All three of these teams had some great runs to finish the year |
20 | Utah State | |
21 | Ohio State | |
22 | Butler | While all three of these teams had some great runs to begin the year |
23 | West Virginia | |
24 | ETSU | And both these mid majors didn't get to prove the doubters in this tournament |
25 | Stephen F. Austin | Shoutout to Colorado who won my simulated tournament??? Also I ran outta space for BYU & SMC but those are the last 2 teams I wanna shoutout |
