Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | The win over Duke was great, but both teams shot poorly and had their fair share of turnovers. It's early, though, and they look the best. |
2 | Maryland | |
3 | Villanova | |
4 | Iowa State | |
5 | Kansas | |
6 | Duke | Coach K will need to figure out how to get other players besides Grayson Allen going on offense, but the talent is there. |
7 | Oklahoma | |
8 | North Carolina | Just a bad showing against Northern Iowa. I don't doubt they'll find their way back into the top 5, but they'll have to earn it. |
9 | Michigan State | |
10 | Gonzaga | The guards finallly drained some 3's against Mount St. Mary's, but turnovers have quickly become an issue. Better teams will punish that. |
11 | Virginia | George Washington won't be a bad team, but the Cavaliers didn't exactly impress in the game either. |
12 | Arizona | |
13 | Indiana | |
14 | Baylor | |
15 | Wichita State | |
16 | Purdue | |
17 | California | |
18 | Notre Dame | |
19 | Utah | |
20 | UConn | |
21 | Cincinnati | |
22 | Miami (FL) | |
23 | Louisville | |
24 | Vanderbilt | |
25 | Iowa |
