Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | I put them here last year then they lost to UCLA. I wouldn't mind that happening again :). Fox makes my mouth water. |
2 | Villanova | Might just be #1 if they had Spellman. |
3 | North Carolina | One time I played against Shea Rush, I was so proud to see him score his first points. |
4 | Duke | I almost put them at 5, but couldn't do it considering how good they've been missing so many guys. They should be #1 once healthy. |
5 | Kansas | We've had a pretty flat start imo. If Jackson and Lucas can get going, I would be very pleased. |
6 | Indiana | They've had a great start, but I'm not ready to put them ahead of Kansas, yet. A win down the road vs UNC would be huge. |
7 | Virginia | Tenacious D |
8 | Arizona | Lauri was underrated, even as a 5 star, which is scary. Is Trier back or?? |
9 | Oregon | Kind of like with Duke, I don't want to penalize them too much for not being completely healthy. |
10 | Syracuse | Can Kansas have AW3 back? |
11 | Wisconsin | |
12 | Louisville | |
13 | Gonzaga | |
14 | West Virginia | |
15 | UCLA | Very fun team to watch, Ball and Leaf hit the ground running. |
16 | Iowa State | |
17 | Saint Mary's | |
18 | Michigan State | Very wild and undisciplined at times which is strange for MSU. Bridges needs to take smarter shots and settle in. |
19 | Xavier | Too many close calls vs teams they should be handling with more ease gets them here. |
20 | Texas | |
21 | Michigan | My second or third favorite team in cbb, I really hope they keep this up. |
22 | Creighton | Exciting team to watch, I would be scared to play them and they already have a win over a top team. |
23 | Purdue | I'm a little low on them, and Michigan playing so well is what bumped them down a spot from my preseason rankings. |
24 | URI | They got a good win over Cinny and played alright against Duke, which combine to raise them a spot. |
25 | Cincinnati |
