Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Duke | |
2 | Michigan State | |
3 | Kansas | |
4 | Florida | |
5 | Texas A&M | An overreaction, but they look like the surprise team of the year. |
6 | Villanova | |
7 | Miami (FL) | They were great against UMN. They have a great backcourt and will be legit final four contenders |
8 | Wichita State | |
9 | Notre Dame | Ca |
10 | Kentucky | They really don't look good this year. They'll pull it together, but they've really been underachieving so far |
11 | North Carolina | They aren't as bad as they played against MSU. Can't tell if they're closer to 20 or 5 at this point. Wild card. |
12 | Minnesota | If Mcbrayer started vs Miami, I'm pretty sure they would've won. With him healthy, I like them on either side of Ten by a few spots. |
13 | Gonzaga | |
14 | Virginia | |
15 | Xavier | |
16 | Cincinnati | |
17 | Alabama | Couldn't tell you if they're better or worse than 17. A team with lots of potential, so I think they could move up. |
18 | Baylor | |
19 | Arizona State | Can't tell if they are good yet. I expect them to drop off in January. |
20 | Texas | They've had a tough schedule so far. 2 losses doesn't say too much at this point for them |
21 | SMU | They've had a few great wins and they are looking great this season |
22 | West Virginia | |
23 | USC | |
24 | TCU | 26. URI 27. Seton Hall |
25 | St. John's | I know they haven't been tested this season, but I like their backcourt. Watch out for them later on in the season. |
