INeedMoreCreativity's Ballot for Preseason of 2020-21| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Baylor
|
Bringing back most of a very solid core. Butler will gun for NPOY, and his backcourt teammates in Teague and Mitchell will be insane. |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 3 |
Virginia
|
Can't see a defense doing better than Virginia here this season |
| 4 |
Duke
|
I don't expect a starstudded cast this year, but rather a solid group of former roleplayers + OADs |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
Going to hurt majorly with the loss of Dotson and Azubuike. |
| 6 |
Villanova
|
|
| 7 |
Wisconsin
|
|
| 8 |
West Virginia
|
Why take good shot when many do trick? Culver and Tshiebwe will get infinite offensive rebounds |
| 9 |
Texas Tech
|
Once again reloaded with solid transfers, I trust Beard to do it again. I expect Jamarius Burton to make a major leap. |
| 10 |
Texas
|
Not the best coach or program recently, but they are returning the biggest % of minutes in D1: 100%. Super experienced. |
| 11 |
Creighton
|
|
| 12 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 13 |
Illinois
|
|
| 14 |
Iowa
|
Returning a solid group. Hopefully less injuries this year so NPOY candidate Garza can get more help |
| 15 |
Kentucky
|
Fewest returning minutes in D1 with 8%. No one knows for certain how good they'll be. I expect a slow start and a great end to the season |
| 16 |
Michigan
|
|
| 17 |
Tennessee

Florida State

| 19 |
Ohio State

Still a young team for Williams -- I expect some struggles as it gels together. |
