Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan State | Just gutsy, all the time. See no reason to drop them. |

3 | Kansas | Just rollin' along, better chemistry than last year. |
4 | Iowa State | Most entertaining game of the year against Iowa. |

6 | Maryland | Loaded with talent, cruising through the non-UNC teams. |
7 | Purdue | Just beating the doors off of teams. |
8 | Kentucky | I like the three guard set they run. Interesting offensive team. |
