Submitted on Monday, October 27, 2014 at 9:18PM EDT
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Arizona
|
Almost tie with Duke, experience wins out. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
Best players are freshman, lacking college experience. |
| 3 |
Kentucky
|
Team Chemistry will be an issue with so many good players and only 40 minutes to play them. |
| 4 |
Wisconsin
|
Good experience + good chemistry should be a good combo. |
| 5 |
Florida
|
After a final four loss this team will be hungry for revenge. |
| 6 |
Wichita State
|
After a tough loss to Kentucky last year, the Shockers are out for revenge. |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
After what could be considered a disappointing season after usual tournament success, UNC will look to rebound. |
| 8 |
Texas
|
Myles Turner is the next big thing out of Texas, but can Rick Barnes prove he is an adiquit coach? |
| 9 |
Louisville
|
2 years off of a title run, with more players leaving, this might be Louisville's last year of title contention. |
| 10 |
Kansas
|
Losing Wiggins is a hit, but Kansas should make a strong comeback. |
| 11 |
UConn
|
This team could repeat if Ryan Boatright steps up, which I think he will. |
| 12 |
Virginia
|
Haven't seen much of Virginia, sorry |
| 13 |
Villanova
|
Stuck in the corpse of the Big East, the Wildcats will have to work hard to get another 2 seed. |
| 14 |
Gonzaga
|
Haven't been able to watch much Gonzaga basketball, sorry! |
| 15 |
VCU
|
Havoc plus a good offense will lead VCU to another good season, in what might be Shaka Smart's final year. |
| 16 |
