| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Arizona
|
Most talented and deepest team in the country to me. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
I love how loaded their back court is. Guards can take you a long way. |
| 3 |
Villanova
|
Veterans. Its a common theme in the top 3. |
| 4 |
Duke
|
Younger team, but I look for Grayson Allen to step up and be a leader. |
| 5 |
Michigan State
|
Miles Bridges + Jaren Jackson + Tom Izzo |
| 6 |
Wichita State
|
I think they will "shock" some people. |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
This team is too young to know a ton about yet. Calipari has his work cut out. |
| 8 |
West Virginia
|
3 starters back from a sweet 16 team? I'll take it. |
| 9 |
Florida
|
Look for them to prove last year was not a fluke. |
| 10 |
USC
|
Stellar front line. |
| 11 |
Notre Dame
|
Something about them intrigues me. |
| 12 |
North Carolina
|
This team has a lot to prove to me. |
| 13 |
Minnesota
|
Spoiler of the BIG 10 |
| 14 |
Cincinnati
|
Love what Cronin is doing |
| 15 |
Miami (FL)
|
Great back court but I am taking a wait and see approach with this team. |
| 16 |
Northwestern
|
I hope they can carry some momentum from last year. |
| 17 |
Xavier
|
Good, veteran team. |
| 18 |
Seton Hall
|
3 1000 point scorers? Sign me up |
| 19 |
Alabama
|
4 returning starters + a great recruiting class |
| 20 |
Purdue
|
Have to fill Swanigan's hole left behind. |
| 21 |
Texas A&M
|
4 returning starters + JJ Caldwell + great recruiting class... Oh yeah and Robert Williams is still playing |
| 22 |
UCLA
|
What can this team do without Ball? |
| 23 |
Gonzaga
|
Lost some big pieces, can they rebuild? |
| 24 |
TCU
|
This team is a lot better than people will give them credit for. |
| 25 |
URI
|
This is a strong, strong team. |
