| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Duke
|
I'm usually a computer ranker, so I had a hellish time with this. Projecting with no data is... difficult. (cont'd) |
| 2 |
Kentucky
|
(cont'd) Through a combination of last year's rankings, KenPom's season preview, and some manual adjustment, I came up with this. |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
|
| 4 |
Wisconsin
|
|
| 5 |
Villanova
|
|
| 6 |
Louisville
|
|
| 7 |
Arizona
|
This may seem like a slight based on my own hatred for them, but they were actually moved up from the computer output (they were 9th) |
| 8 |
Texas
|
|
| 9 |
Florida
|
|
| 10 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 11 |
Ohio State
|
|
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 13 |
Michigan
|
|
| 14 |
Wichita State
|
|
| 15 |
UConn
|
|
| 16 |
Virginia
|
|
| 17 |
North Carolina
|
I agree with the computer here - I don't get the hype with this team that so many people have. Do we just want Carolina to be elite again? |
| 18 |
Memphis
|
|
| 19 |
Iowa State
|
|
| 20 |
Oklahoma
|
|
| 21 |
VCU
|
|
| 22 |
Syracuse
|
|
| 23 |
Minnesota
|
|
| 24 |
UCLA
|
|
| 25 |
Georgetown
|
The computer wanted Georgetown 14th - I do think GTown will be back in full this year but they'll need to prove it first. |
