Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kansas | |
2 | Gonzaga | |
3 | Baylor | Faltered near the end but I don't think there's a team that had a better stretch than Baylor mid-year. |
4 | San Diego State | Unforgettable season from the Aztecs, shame it couldn't end with a 0 in the L column. So close. |
5 | Dayton | Probably one of the best three teams in the country IMO, but their resume isn't as deserving as the top 4. |
6 | Florida State | |
7 | Maryland | Turns out, Turgeon wasn't the only one who couldn't get it done in March this year. |
8 | Villanova | |
9 | Creighton | |
10 | Duke | |
11 | Kentucky | |
12 | Michigan State | |
13 | Oregon | |
14 | Louisville | |
15 | Seton Hall | |
16 | Auburn | |
17 | Butler | |
18 | Wisconsin | |
19 | Ohio State | |
20 | Virginia | |
21 | West Virginia | Wouldn't pick them to win against an other top 25 teams except ETSU, but a strong beginning of year makes their body of work shine |
22 | Penn State | |
23 | Illinois | |
24 | Iowa | |
25 | ETSU |
