mitchdwx's Ballot for Preseason of 2016-17| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Duke
|
Preseason polls are a joke. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
Don't ask me for my reasoning. There isn't any for this poll. |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
I'll have valid reasoning for all my other polls. |
| 4 |
Kentucky
|
But with preseason, I have no idea what I'm doing. |
| 5 |
North Carolina
|
I'm basically just combining the KenPom rankings and coaches poll. |
| 6 |
Oregon
|
So enjoy my very generic poll with no surprises whatsoever! |
| 7 |
Virginia
|
My poll usually has a surprise or two most other weeks of the season, though. |
| 8 |
Xavier
|
I usually don't pay much attention to recruiting and stuff. |
| 9 |
Wisconsin
|
Except for PSU. Our incoming class is awesome! |
| 10 |
Arizona
|
I want to rank us so badly, but I'm not THAT optimistic. |
| 11 |
Michigan State
|
Maybe later this season though. (plz) |
| 12 |
Louisville
|
Oh who am I kidding, we'll lose by 40 to Duke. |
| 13 |
Indiana
|
And go like 1-20 from 3 in a B1G game we should win. |
| 14 |
Syracuse
|
That happens at least once EVERY SEASON. |
| 15 |
Purdue
|
But anyway, back to my random musings about preseason polls! |
| 16 |
Gonzaga
|
These things are such a crapshoot. |
| 17 |
Saint Mary's
|
There are so many different variables that change from year to year. |
| 18 |
West Virginia
|
It's just too much to predict when everyone is almost always wrong anyway. |
| 19 |
UCLA
|
Hypothetical numbers mean nothing. What happens on the court is all that matters. |
| 20 |
UConn
|
I'm so dedicated to following CBB during the regular season. |
| 21 |
Cincinnati
|
But during the offseason...not so much. |
| 22 |
Creighton
|
Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed my thoughts! If you read them, anyway. |
| 23 |
URI
|
I'm just more interested in seeing other people's polls that they actually put thought into. |
| 24 |
Oklahoma
|
Looking forward to making these polls once some games actually happen, though! |
| 25 |
Ohio State
|
And as always. LET'S GO PSU! |
