Rank	Team	Reason
1	Duke	I hate Grayson Allen. But boy is he good. No real weak parts of this lineup.
2	Kentucky	Neck and neck recruiting class with Duke. I'm really excited to see what Bam and co. have to offer
3	Kansas	13 straight. No one can stop this team in the Big 12.
4	Villanova	Josh Hart will compete for player of the year.
5	North Carolina	Not a huge drop off for the runners-up
6	Oregon	Quality at every position, provided Brooks is healthy.
7	Virginia	Austin Nichols vs. the rim.
8	Xavier	Trevon Bluiett will be a beast on the wing.
9	Wisconsin	Hayes, Koenig, Happ. Looks to be the best team in the B1G.
10	Arizona	Great talent down low, let's see if they produce.
11	Michigan State	Izzo. That's all.
12	UCLA	Alford makes big improvements from last year. Look for Lonzo Ball to carry.
13	Indiana	Yogi is gone, but Thomas Bryant will carry them to success.
14	Louisville	Pitino could've made the Final 4 if he was allowed in the tourney last year. Should be the case again this year.
15	Purdue	Lost Hammons, but Haas and Boogie will both play more in his absence. The addition of Spike will help solve the massive PG problems
16	Syracuse	Boeheim might be a good coach, guys.
17	Saint Mary's	The Gaels deserved to be in the tourney last year. This team is exactly the same, and will get in this year.
18	UConn	Should have no problem in the American.
19	$University of Texas at Austin Logo$ Texas	Shaka and Jarrett Allen will be making waves in the Big 12.
20	Gonzaga	The Zags and St. Mary's will be fun to watch in the WCC
21	Creighton	McDermott has a team that can shoot and shoot some more
22	West Virginia	The backcourt looks great.
23	Iowa State	Lost Niang, but should rebound nicely.
24	NC State	The banter of NC State fans arguing with each other about how good this team is hilarious.
25	URI	Matthews has a healthy ACL; this team is going to be really good.
