Rank	Team	Reason
1	Kentucky	Calipari-enough said
2	Arizona	Great team in a weak PAC 12
3	Wisconsin	Returning 4 starters, and 7 of 8 in the rotation
4	Duke	Tough schedule (UW in Madison), but should return some solid talent
5	Virginia	Great young coach, playing in a style that can stymy teams
6	North Carolina	A powerhouse that should never be overlooked
7	Florida	Losing talent from last year's team, but I expect Donovan to restock
8	Kansas	Lost arguably the best two players to the draft, but they had depth behind them to replace
9	Wichita State	They aren't in the strongest conference, and they've proved year in and year out that they can fight for undefeated status
10	Louisville	Rick Pitino teams aren't to be trifled with
11	$University of Texas at Austin Logo$ Texas	Other than Kansas, nobody else in the Big 12 scares me too much, Texas has enough talent to contend
12	Villanova	With Buzz Williams and Douggie McBuckets out of the conference, Nova could dominate
13	UConn	Reigning national champs, but can they replicate their success?
14	VCU	Shaka's still there? Watch out
15	Michigan State	Izzo is a wizard, and Dawson still will be on the court
16	Gonzaga	They still have a roster loaded with top foreign talent, so their recipe for success is still working
17	Iowa State	They've been sneakily good for the last few years, this year will be no exception
18	San Diego State	Fisher at the helm means another good year for SDSU
19	Ohio State	Thad Matta squads are always competing, although they won't be as good without that pesky Craft
20	Oklahoma	Oklahoma could be a sort of dark horse contender if they can find a way to get past Kansas
21	Nebraska	An underdog last year now has some pressure, can they handle it?
22	Syracuse	I can't imagine a year that Syracuse isn't good enough to be ranked
23	Iowa	A team that had room to improve last year seems to have grown into their shoes
24	SMU	Larry Brown can catapult even the worst teams to relevance
25	Harvard	They've had enough success in the tournament to earn some regular season respect
