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. |
