| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
Not close to as good as '15, '12, or even '10 and '14 teams right now (Duke win was more bc Duke is meh), but the pieces are clearly there. |
| 2 |
Maryland
|
This UMD team has all the same November feelings that the 2013 Indiana team had in Nov of 2012. I'll let you decide if that's a good thing. |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
Oh, fuck me - MSU plays IU on Valentine's Day. 100% chance Denzel goes nuts and 100000% chance the puns make us all want to shoot our faces. |
| 4 |
Oklahoma
|
Bold prediction: Come March, OU will be ranked like 19th and get a 3-seed or they'll be ranked 8th and get a 6-seed. |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
Self is going to start Chaminade game w/ only Ellis & Mason on the court, 1 hand on his balls, and another making middle finger at his bench |
| 6 |
Indiana
|
IU has the best offense in America and they're set to play in Maui - where the rims are softer than AJ Hammons. |
| 7 |
Villanova
|
I know it's Nebraska, but holy shit the way Nova closed that first half is what nightmares are made of. |
| 8 |
Iowa State
|
This was never established: On scale from Kevin Stallings to Hoiberg, how big of a boner does Prohm give ISU fans? He's handsome too, right? |
| 9 |
North Carolina
|
Sure they'll be "fine" when Paige gets back. But someone else is gonna have to be a knockdown 3-pt threat. Preferably taller than 6'1" too. |
| 10 |
Duke
|
Is Grayson Allen ELITE??? |
| 11 |
Purdue
|
Beating the brakes off everyone and for all questions about guard play, 2 PGs have combined for just 7 TOs in 5 games. Be afraid of Purdue. |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
Who you got in a Gus Macker tourney: Haas, Swanigan, and Hammons or Wiltjer, Sabonis, and Karnowski? |
| 13 |
California
|
Pac-12 is gonna be pretty good this year, which is cool for Pac-12 and all but really means one thing: BILL WALTON CALLING IMPORTANT GAMES. |
| 14 |
Arizona
|
The hell is going on with Gabe York's hair? |
| 15 |
UConn
|
Holding off excitement until this Big Ten stretch of Michigan, Maryland, and OSU. But I'm borderline titillated right now. |
| 16 |
GW
|
George Washington founded America and, by beating UVA, has now saved college basketball. That's a resume worthy of a 1-seed IMO. |
| 17 |
Virginia
|
UVA fans: Buckle up for a season where your talented yet streaky/frustrating PG is the difference maker, for better and worse. Good luck. |
| 18 |
LSU
|
BEN SIMMONS NATIONAL TELEVISION ALERT I REPEAT BEN SIMMONS IS ON NATIONAL TV TONIGHT CANCEL EVERYTHING HE IS REALLY FUCKING GOOD YOU GUYS |
| 19 |
Miami (FL)
|
Miami probably deserves to be top-15 but all those great wins came in Puerto Rico, which basically makes it home games for them. |
| 20 |
Butler
|
I'm all-in on the Butler bandwagon, but 2 serious issues: 1) Lewis can't play shit's worth of D. 2) Nobody can create own shot. |
| 21 |
Tulsa
|
Order has been restored to the world: Tom Crean and Frank Haith are both back in my top 25. |
| 22 |
Wichita State
|
I RAN OUT OF TIME |
| 23 |
Cincinnati
|
SO I CAN'T FILL OUT THE LAST FOUR TEAMS |
| 24 |
Notre Dame
|
I'M SORRY |
| 25 |
Oregon
|
DON'T HATE ME |
