Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Maryland | Melo + Transfers + Stone = You finally made it, fam |
2 | Kentucky | Reload and repeat. They won't play like the #2 team yet, but eventually they'll be here |
3 | Villanova | Love the 4 around 1, but it all comes down to Ochefu |
4 | North Carolina | Sigh |
5 | Kansas | I don't even care if he gets declared ineligible...just a decision FFS. |
6 | Virginia | Defense wins championships. Or so I'm told. |
7 | Iowa State | Too much talent that even losing the Mayor shouldn't hurt this season. |
8 | Arizona | Zeus is coming! And all the Cal hype is making people overlook Zona it seems |
9 | Michigan State | Izzo knows all |
10 | Oklahoma | Buddy Hield! |
11 | Duke | K is a wizard, but losing Cook was HUGE. |
12 | Wichita State | Might be better than the undefeated team, even |
13 | Gonzaga | Kyle Wiltjer for Heisman |
14 | UConn | Much guards. So good. Very win. PURVIS! |
15 | California | 'crootin |
16 | Michigan | Everyone's back, alright! |
17 | Purdue | All that inside presence + Swanigan |
18 | Cincinnati | Virginia lite (but in a good way, my Croninites) |
19 | Vanderbilt | It feels like it's been a few years since Vandy was good, so I'm guessing that means Kevin Stallings has a group of seniors all ready to go |
20 | LSU | Simmons + Blakeney are the obvious choice, but this team goes as Quarterman goes |
21 | Indiana | They should be good, but it's still Tom Crean, so who knows |
22 | Butler | Tyler Lewis' first game for Butler could have gone a bit better...which says a lot about how good everyone else for Butler is gonna be. |
23 | West Virginia | PRESS VIRGINIA |
24 | Utah | Losing Wright will be tough. Can someone step up? |
25 | Notre Dame | Losing Grant and Connaughton will be SUPER tough. Can someone step up? |
