Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | Tier 1 Coin toss, I think Villanova has the most continuity, no one new is added to the team but you could put Zags here too |
2 | Gonzaga | Tier 1 - Tier 1 Teams I think are Natty Champs contenders, I'll try and only have 4 teams in Tier 1 |
3 | Virginia | Tier 1b |
4 | Baylor | Tier 1b - Had them at #2 but the Tristan Clark retirement I have to drop them a bit |
5 | Kansas | Tier 2 - teams that should feel like they have final four hopes |
6 | Wisconsin | Tier 2 |
7 | Iowa | Tier 2 |
8 | Creighton | Tier 2 |
9 | Illinois | Tier 3 - Elite Eight Teams that f things break could burst into the final four |
10 | Duke | Tier 3 |
11 | Kentucky | Tier 3 |
12 | Arizona State | Tier 3 |
13 | Texas Tech | Tier 3 |
14 | Tennessee | Tier 4 - Dark horses, could reach the final four could flame out early but these are the ones I expect to be top 10 teams at one point |
15 | Houston | Tier 4 |
16 | West Virginia | Tier 4 |
17 | Michigan State | Tier 4 |
18 | Texas | Tier 5 - Sweet 16 teams with some upside |
19 | North Carolina | Tier 5 |
20 | Florida State | Tier 5 |
21 | Rutgers | Tier 5 |
22 | Richmond | Tier 5 |
23 | UConn | Tier 5 |
24 | Michigan | Tier 5 |
25 | Alabama | Tier 5 |
