1 Duke University Logo Duke
2 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State
3 University of Kansas Logo Kansas
4 University of Florida Logo Florida
5 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M An overreaction, but they look like the surprise team of the year.
6 Villanova University Logo Villanova
7 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) They were great against UMN. They have a great backcourt and will be legit final four contenders
8 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State
9 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame Ca
10 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky They really don't look good this year. They'll pull it together, but they've really been underachieving so far
11 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo 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 University of Minnesota Logo 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 University Logo Gonzaga
14 University of Virginia Logo Virginia
15 Xavier University Logo Xavier
16 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati
17 University of Alabama Logo 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 University Logo Baylor
19 Arizona State University Logo Arizona State Can't tell if they are good yet. I expect them to drop off in January.
20 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas They've had a tough schedule so far. 2 losses doesn't say too much at this point for them
21 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU They've had a few great wins and they are looking great this season
22 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia
23 University of Southern California Logo USC
24 Texas Christian University Logo TCU 26. URI 27. Seton Hall
25 St. John's University Logo 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.
