RankTeamReason
1 Baylor University Logo 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 University Logo Gonzaga
3 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Can't see a defense doing better than Virginia here this season
4 Duke University Logo Duke I don't expect a starstudded cast this year, but rather a solid group of former roleplayers + OADs
5 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Going to hurt majorly with the loss of Dotson and Azubuike.
6 Villanova University Logo Villanova
7 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin
8 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Why take good shot when many do trick? Culver and Tshiebwe will get infinite offensive rebounds
9 Texas Tech University Logo 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 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas Not the best coach or program recently, but they are returning the biggest % of minutes in D1: 100%. Super experienced.
11 Creighton University Logo Creighton
12 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State
13 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois
14 University of Iowa Logo Iowa Returning a solid group. Hopefully less injuries this year so NPOY candidate Garza can get more help
15 University of Kentucky Logo 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 University of Michigan Logo Michigan
17 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee
18 Florida State University Logo Florida State
19 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State
20 University of Florida Logo Florida
21 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Still a young team for Williams -- I expect some struggles as it gels together.
22 University of Oregon Logo Oregon
23 University of Houston Logo Houston
24 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse
25 Rutgers University Logo Rutgers
