Submitted on Friday, October 28, 2016 at 5:35PM EDT
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Duke
|
does this even need an explanation? #1 and returning this subs most hated player (tho with the injuries it could drop) |
| 2 |
Kentucky
|
almost always a#1 contender early; then see how the team gells |
| 3 |
Villanova
|
were the best now the third, losing ochewu and PG could be bad, but the team still seems strong obviously with hart still very good |
| 4 |
North Carolina
|
as normal (ish) roy williams great recruiting and finished the year strong (barely lost the ncg), and has lots of depth returning |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
Bill self big 12 ? profit. Also Josh Jackson should be a star |
| 6 |
Oregon
|
early season might not go well with the injury on an important piece and strong opponents, but altman has a few good players and seems great |
| 7 |
Xavier
|
when you should be contending for the big east you're pretty good, I assume Davis should be back for the second half |
| 8 |
Indiana
|
I love that crean seems to have turned it around at indiana since everyone was so down on him early last year, no yogi is bad but others bac |
| 9 |
Virginia
|
tony bennet has lost his best player, but got a great one in a transfer and good class coming in #10 and I should know his system wins games |
| 10 |
UCLA
|
hoping alonso ball is as fun as expected, not sure coach is good enough to keep them this high but, we'll see |
| 11 |
Arizona
|
here is a coach that is for sure to keep his highly talented team up this high even without ferguson |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
few has a couple good cruits/transfers and the big karnowski (spelling?) coming back is big (like seriously hes too large it seems) |
| 13 |
Louisville
|
should be good (as you can tell I love good coaches) as he lost a bit but brings in a good transfer and recruit, and often turns teams aroun |
| 14 |
Saint Mary's
|
somehow missed this initially, but everyone comes back from a 29 win team, seems good |
| 15 |
Wisconsin
|
guard seemed to show he was worth keeping in that sketchy way, we'll see if he can continue |
| 16 |
Purdue
|
good frontcourt with the returner and I feel painter is a good coach (maybe cause I think too much of the late 00s tho) |
| 17 |
Michigan State
|
izzo with his best class ever? I don't know why he isn't higher (probably cause most people left and 2 injuries) but great coach |
| 18 |
Iowa State
|
morris is a very good college player, and they seemed to be fine with the coach last year. though might have some falloff |
| 19 |
Texas
|
texas seems to be going back up, shaka smart is a damn good coach with a super strong class to go with the work of last year |
| 20 |
West Virginia
|
some sad losses for this team, but huggins seems to always keep his team ranked after a little while |
| 21 |
URI
|
probably the top of the atlantic 10 at the moment |
| 22 |
California
|
Ivan Rabb staying around is really interesting. might be too high though unless he really improved more too |
| 23 |
UConn
|
top 10 recruiting class and a national champ coach is good enough to get them here |
| 24 |
Texas A&M
|
|
| 25 |
Miami (FL)
|
good recruiting class and coach I am blanking of did well last year and should continue |
