1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Gonzaga has all the pieces to win a championship. Should be the team with the best record come March.
2 Baylor University Logo Baylor Baylor gets most of their guys back from last season, and should be just as good if not better this season.
3 Villanova University Logo Villanova Villanova looks to be in a great spot right now, and will probably win at least a share of the BE title again.
4 University of Virginia Logo Virginia UVA's defense was the best last season, but their offense was bad, now they return those defensive guys while still adding offensive ones.
5 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Wisconsin ended hot last year, they can survive star-less, and this should be a great season for them.
6 Creighton University Logo Creighton Maybe this is a bit high, but I still think Creighton will be a great team. Their players will step up where they need to.
7 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois Illinois is going to be a very good team. They return their best players to team that was already great last season.
8 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Kansas may have a few questions, but those will be figured out quickly, they always do.

10 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Kentucky's newcomers are looking great on-paper.
11 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee Tennessee wasn't great last season but they bring back four starters while adding some great talent.
12 Duke University Logo Duke Duke is relying a newcomers, and former five-stars still on the roster are poised for sophomore jumps.
13 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Michigan St. lost a lot but gained a lot, but what is consistent is the talent and depth of the roster.
14 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech TTU has a more balanced roster this year around and should be a better team as a result.
15 Arizona State University Logo Arizona State ASU is going to be a fun team to watch, with an offense that explosive.

17 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA UCLA was one of the hottest teams to end last season and they return all five starters.

19 University of Houston Logo Houston Houston's going to be the AAC team to beat, even if some questions about them are there.
20 Florida State University Logo Florida State Yes FSU lost a lot but based on their recent consistent success an extreme drop is unlikely.
21 University of Oregon Logo Oregon Oregon looks to be the Pac-12 favorites, but might have some consistency trouble.
22 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina UNC is a hard team to figure out sure, but there is no way this team will be even close to as bad as last season's.
23 University of Michigan Logo Michigan Michigan should look for another good season, and could be a lot better than 23rd.
24 University of Richmond Logo Richmond Richmond will look to be the best mid-major team- bar Gonzaga and the AAC.
25 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas Texas brings back all of their starters and adds a top-10 recruit, but can Shaka really, finally, make it happen?
