RankTeamReason
1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga
2 University of Kansas Logo Kansas I'm more convinced by Kansas than I man Baylor, Michigan, Illinois, and UCLA. They just seem to have a lot of pieces
3 Villanova University Logo Villanova I trust Jay Wright more right now than I do a lot of higher ranked coaches
4 University of Michigan Logo Michigan They're returning some good pieces and haven't had much coaching turnover
5 Purdue University Logo Purdue Experience is vital in close and early non-home games (although boo trains)
6 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA I think they got a lot of hype in a likely over performing pac12 tournament. They should be good, but I'm wary even at 6
7 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois Everyone's B1G favorite. A lot of coaching and player turnover. They need a few people to really step up.
8 Baylor University Logo Baylor Losing some key players. I'm sure they have some people who can step up
9 Duke University Logo Duke Duke could run the table. This is I'd last season and it could motivate them late season. We'll also get an idea of Scheyer
10 University of Houston Logo Houston As much as I dislike Sampson for IU, he gets the job done
11 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Should be a good season, but they've GOt to rebound after a bad season
12 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas Muss Bus had a breakout year, I think they could do about as well, likely not much better
13 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State A lot of questions remain here. Consistency is lacking
14 University of Memphis Logo Memphis Penny is my hero after Wiseman.
15 University of Oregon Logo Oregon We'll see how they turn out after last year
16 University of Alabama Logo Alabama The SEC is loaded
17 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Expect a good season from them
18 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech Let's see who really was the brain behind TTU
19 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee Isn't football enough for the SEC?
20 Florida State University Logo Florida State Good coach, momentum running
21 University of Southern California Logo USC Enfield finally has some traction
22 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Never doubt Izzo unless it's in the FinalFour or later
23 St. Bonaventure University Logo St. Bonaventure Come on, you can do it
24 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas Huge questions all around
25 University of Connecticut Logo UConn I really wanted to put my Hoosiers here, but i need some film before I think they deserve a ranking. Come on Woody (also dookie good coach)
