Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Arizona | PAC 12 champs |

4 | Villanova | Gillespie is America's villian |
5 | Baylor | Substantial letdown |
6 | Tennessee | 2nd hottest team in the country |

9 | Auburn | Were they just coasting into the tournament? |
10 | Texas Tech | Look out. |
11 | UCLA | Mick is back and Jaime is the real deal |
12 | Duke | BS 2 seed |

15 | Murray State | Disrespected as a 7 seed |
16 | Providence | Yikes |
17 | Illinois | Get Mike Woodson'd |
18 | South Dakota State | Clean sweep of the Summit |
19 | UConn | Elite 8 or 1st round upset |
20 | Wisconsin | Get Brad out of college basketball |
21 | USC | Drew Peterson can get you to a Sweet 16 |
22 | Arkansas | Muss Bus almost derailed |
23 | Boise State | MWC champs. Whoever won that tournament was getting ranked |
24 | Saint Mary's | Overrated but did beat Gonzaga once |
25 | Creighton | I kinda believe in this Creighton team. Could wreck some brackets |
