Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | |
2 | Baylor | |
3 | Villanova | |
4 | Kansas | |
5 | Virginia | I'm a little skeptical about how much offensive efficiency Hauser will bring to this team. |
6 | Wisconsin | |
7 | Illinois | |
8 | Duke | |
9 | Kentucky | |
10 | Iowa | Defense is important and Iowa has none. Wary of putting them any higher because of that. |
11 | Creighton | Great team last year and returns a lot. |
12 | Michigan State | I'm starting MSU here but I have a feeling Izzo will figure this team out. |
13 | West Virginia | |
14 | Tennessee | |
15 | Houston | |
16 | Florida State | Leonard Hamilton deserves respect. Plus this isn't far off of where Kenpom has them. |
17 | Texas Tech | |
18 | Arizona State | |
19 | North Carolina | I'm not sure where to put UNC yet. So I'm starting them down here. |
20 | Oregon | |
21 | UCLA | |
22 | Texas | This comes down to me not trusting Shaka Smart just yet. They could surprise me. |
23 | Rutgers | |
24 | Michigan | |
25 | LSU |
