| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Michigan State
|
MSU as a whole doesn't scare me as much as 5+ other teams, but Valentine in a big game >>>>> anyone. So I'm cool w/ them being #1. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Self's gotta find 2 or 3 from the Traylor, Lucas, Mickelson, Bragg, Diallo group to consistently trust and KU will be best team in America. |
| 3 |
Oklahoma
|
Most powerful NPOY power rankings in college basketball: 1) Valentine, 2) Dunn, 3) Hield, 4) Trimble, 5) Paige, 6) Simmons |
| 4 |
Maryland
|
Remember when Grantland's college basketball writer thought Jake Layman could be a lottery pick? What an idiot. No wonder they folded... |
| 5 |
Purdue
|
Best frontcourt/defense in USA. Deep as hell. Great shooters. For once, something other than the co-eds is the scariest thing about Purdue. |
| 6 |
Xavier
|
Let the "Is this Xavier's best team ever?" hype begin! |
| 7 |
Iowa State
|
I've got your back, ISU. Storm the court whenever the hell you feel like storming the court. Fuck the haters. |
| 8 |
Virginia
|
I'll continue to believe UVA can't win a big game w/ passive Perrantes until proven otherwise. Let's see what happens vs. Villanova. |
| 9 |
Kentucky
|
Other than name on front of jerseys, what has UK done that demands we take them seriously as one of the title favorites? |
| 10 |
Duke
|
It's early and Ingram is making strides, but man - not feeling this team. Feels like '14 team, but worse. Hope I'm wrong. We'll see. |
| 11 |
North Carolina
|
90% of UNC's team is either tall/long-armed/skinny or tall/fat/fat. How the hell do they ever get crushed on the boards??? |
| 12 |
Providence
|
Not sure if they're a good team or they just have a hell of a combo w/ Dunn & Bentil. But I'm also not sure the distinction really matters. |
| 13 |
Arizona
|
Still trying to figure out what this team is. Where do Pitts and Zeus fit in? Do they have a reliable PG? Can Gabe York be THE MAN? |
| 14 |
Villanova
|
Rough stretch for Nova: Try (and fail miserably) to win 3-pt shootout w/ OU, now Ollie is threatening Wright as best-dressed coach in CBB |
| 15 |
SMU
|
SMU has had 5 different guys lead team in scoring in their 7 wins. Everyone in rotation is averaging 6.5+ ppg. Seems good? |
| 16 |
Baylor
|
Would you rather use a Mad Catz controller for all video games you play for rest of your life or try to box out Rico Gathers for 40 minutes? |
| 17 |
Miami (FL)
|
Not sure if the rest of the country realizes it, but Angel Rodriguez might be Miami's 3rd-best player right now. That's how good they are. |
| 18 |
Butler
|
Butler is so, so screwed against Purdue...on paper...which is why they'll probably foul out half Purdue's team, hit 14 3s, and win by 5. |
| 19 |
UCLA
|
Don't really expect UCLA to keep this up (vs. UNC on Sat), but winning vs. UK and at Gonzaga in 11-day stretch demands respect. |
| 20 |
West Virginia
|
When I say that WVU is the least-skilled good team in America, even I can't figure out if I mean it as an insult or compliment. |
| 21 |
Cincinnati
|
UC doesn't have a go-to guy I trust and isn't quite as good defensively as I thought they'd be, but I still think they'll be scary in March. |
| 22 |
Louisville
|
Haven't pl-HOOKERS-ayed anyone other than Mich-PROSTITUTES-igan State, but I like what I've se-PAID SEX WITH CHICKS AND SHIT-en so far. |
| 23 |
Iowa
|
Know you don't care but need to vent: I put Uthoff on my B1G fantasy team bench for 1st time this week. This was, in retrospect, a bad idea. |
| 24 |
UConn
|
Anyone else notice that the face Ollie makes when he's mad is the universal "this diarrhea is REALLY burning my asshole" face? |
| 25 |
GW
|
A-10 race is gonna be fun to watch this year. Speaking of which: How do I watch the A-10 race? What network shows these games? |
