Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | North Carolina | Every week, my preseason poll will factor in a little bit less. And so far, UNC looks like the best team in the nation. |
2 | Kentucky | |
3 | Villanova | |
4 | Kansas | |
5 | Duke | |
6 | Virginia | Austin Nichols who? The defense is as brilliant as ever, |
7 | Gonzaga | Solid wins over Florida and ISU. I think both are legit so I'm counting those as two quality wins. |
8 | Xavier | Going to be an awesome game against Baylor on the 3rd. I'm hyped! |
9 | Baylor | |
10 | Oregon | Turns out Baylor might be a little better than we thought |
11 | Indiana | That loss against IPFW was concerning for sure, but I think it was more of a fluke than anything. Hats off to IPFW though, huge home win |
12 | Creighton | Big East ain't messing around this year. Butler will be ranked a bit lower. |
13 | Arizona | I might be higher on Arizona than most but Butler is a solid team and Arizona still looks fine. Markkanen is a monster inside. |
14 | UCLA | No joke, I was trying to type in UCLA to rank them but I was thinking about Lonzo Ball and accidentally typed in his name |
15 | Louisville | |
16 | Purdue | |
17 | Butler | Butler, please be good to boost Northwestern's RPI |
18 | South Carolina | |
19 | Wisconsin | Fifteen point loss to UNC and frankly, it should have been more |
20 | Saint Mary's | |
21 | Syracuse | |
22 | Iowa State | |
23 | Cincinnati | |
24 | Florida | |
25 | Michigan State |
