| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
The number of players that they are returning, especially with tournament experience, is enough to put the Wildcats on top. |
| 2 |
Wisconsin
|
Similar to Kentucky, Wisconsin is bringing back a lot of tournament veterans and they're not going to settle for a Final Four Appearance |
| 3 |
Louisville
|
They look good but I do have some concerns about their ability to slog through ACC conference play. |
| 4 |
Duke
|
This is so painful for me but Duke is looking hot this year. |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
|
| 6 |
North Carolina
|
This team looks like the Heels of old: fast, deep, and with a NPOY candidate Point Guard leading the way. |
| 7 |
Arizona
|
|
| 8 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 9 |
Virginia
