| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Arizona
|
Last season's 21-0 start showed what Miller's squad is capable of - expect a better team this year. |
| 2 |
Kentucky
|
Rare case of returning players for UK, expecting to dominate the SEC. |
| 3 |
Wisconsin
|
High powered offense and key returning players. Strongest team in the B1G. |
| 4 |
Duke
|
Coach K has a habit of avenging disappointment. Duke has the talent to make up for their disappointment vs Mercer. |
| 5 |
Florida
|
Billy Donovan has taken the Gators to 3 Elite Eights and a Final Four. This is not expected to be a down year. |
| 6 |
Louisville
|
ACC newcomers enter with something to prove. They should finish in the top 3 in the conference. |
| 7 |
Kansas
|
Bill Self has to be trusted to put together a high caliber team. Although weaker than last year, they're the Big XII favorites. |
| 8 |
Texas
|
Dominant returning center Cameron Ridley has shaped up and should need less rest this season, but when he does, Ibeh should do well. |
| 9 |
Iowa State
|
Niang's in better shape, McKay will protect the rim, Dejean-Jones will make an instant impact. Replacing Ejim and Kane might be possible. |
| 10 |
North Carolina

Marcus Paige will continue to lead this team to a top-tier finish in the ACC. Will be looking to avenge their last-second elimination. |
