Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kansas | |
2 | Dayton | If only they beat Kansas a few months ago... |
3 | Baylor | |
4 | Creighton | #1 in best conference in nation |
5 | Florida State | |
6 | Gonzaga | Overhyped. First real game they played in months (BYU), they lost. I don't believe in rewarding past seasons' perf. |
7 | San Diego State | |
8 | Oregon | Pritchard could have gone on one hell of a run |
9 | Michigan State | Seemed to be peaking at right time, classic Izzo |
10 | Villanova | |
11 | Kentucky | |
12 | Auburn | |
13 | Virginia | |
14 | Louisville | |
15 | Duke | ACC all a mess after FSU. Duke most overrated of bunch. |
16 | Maryland | |
17 | Illinois | |
18 | Wisconsin | |
19 | Ohio State | Similar with B10, a mess after the best team. |
20 | Butler | Played through the conference better than SHU, IMO. |
21 | Seton Hall | never really understood the hype with the pirates, lost 3/4 of their games against Creighton and Nova. |
22 | Providence | A team that was firing on all cylinders. Just a shade behind the Tier 2 teams in Big East, but criminally underrated. |
23 | BYU | Not impressed with the WCC. They're good but not great. |
24 | Utah State | Peaking at right time here. |
25 | Houston |
