| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
I was really conflicted as to who to put #1 here. All season long I firmly believed that Gonzaga was the better team. Despite the results in |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
the championship game, I still think this is true. If that game were to be played 100 times, I think Gonzaga would win more often than not. |
| 3 |
Michigan
|
Honestly going into the game I expected to not even doubt whether I would put Gonzaga won, but Baylor was so dominant that it took a lot of |
| 4 |
Illinois
|
consideration. I think there was added pressure on Gonzaga in the championship game for the perfect season and they unfortunately peaked |
| 5 |
Houston
|
with the buzzer beater against UCLA. Ultimately, this is a 1a and 1b for me, but I still think Gonzaga is both the better team and had the |
| 6 |
USC
|
better season. |
