Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan State | Took care of business against North Florida |
2 | Duke | They have the potential to be the top team but are too unproven. |
3 | Kansas | |
4 | Wichita State | They'll be in the AAC this year, but they should win it in their first year. |
5 | Arizona | |
6 | Kentucky | The game against Utah Valley was too close for this team. Time will tell if this is just early jitters.(Update, Struggled and won another cl |
7 | Florida | ose cupcake game) Florida:Haven't played anyone yet |
8 | Villanova | Still too early in my opinion to evaluate them. |
9 | USC | No reasons to doubt their ability yet |
10 | Cincinnati | Solid win. I can't wait to see them face off with Wichita State |
11 | Minnesota | 3 Point defense was lacking, but their starting five scored 72 in a 15 point victory over USC Upstate |
12 | Xavier | Demolished Morehead State 49-101 |
13 | Miami (FL) | |
14 | North Carolina | Losing too much to justify putting them any higher. They have the potential, but I can't justify it. |
15 | Notre Dame | Should be solid this year |
16 | Purdue | They are better than they're given credit for |
17 | Texas A&M | Throttled West Virginia |
18 | West Virginia | Was Demolished by Texas A&M. I feel it still would be an overreaction to drop them out entirely |
19 | Gonzaga | |
20 | Louisville | The scandal will affect them more than anyone thinks. |
21 | Northwestern | Struggled against Loyola (MD) Not impressive at all. |
22 | Alabama | |
23 | Baylor | |
24 | Seton Hall | |
25 | Providence | St. Mary's dropped because of a horrible offensive performance. (UCLA dropped out because of the uncertainty regarding the arrests) |
