1 Duke University Logo Duke I missed the last 2 ballots and hate that I did. Just kinda been busy this year with grad school (but I finish in December, woohoo!)
2 University of Kansas Logo Kansas I'm excited to be able to sit back and enjoy this season (once the chaos settles..).
3 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Anyway, sports. Duke #1 looking frightening. KU about to win another conference title. Gonzaga marching toward another inevitable one seed.
4 University of Virginia Logo Virginia It's hard to rank right now without having done my own preseason evaluation. Some of these might mirror what the media thinks
5 University of Michigan Logo Michigan This is a big jump. I would have ranked preseason probably 15ish, maybe higher because I tend to overrate previous year success.
6 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Mich D is great and Iggy is really good.
7 Auburn University Logo Auburn Auburn has good(?) win over Washington.
8 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee Good. Will love to see Auburn/Tennessee/UK duke it out
9 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada just hoping they don't end up in Gonzaga's region in March.
10 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Talented, surely will be constantly improving through the year.
11 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State could maybe be higher, only have that tough loss to KU
12 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech good win against purdue
13 Florida State University Logo Florida State we'll see. Talent with Mann there. A team I haven't historically watched a ton and I hope to more this year.
14 Kansas State University Logo Kansas State not sold yet
15 Mississippi State University Logo Mississippi State Sometimes not losing gets you moving up
16 University of Iowa Logo Iowa Love wins over UConn and Oregon.
17 Louisiana State University Logo LSU really like win over Memphis
18 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA another team that really have yet to see anything from
19 Clemson University Logo Clemson
20 Texas Christian University Logo TCU
21 University at Buffalo Logo Buffalo like win over WVU
22 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Happ will earn some awards this year
23 Furman University Logo Furman 2 quality wins (I think?)
24 University of Oregon Logo Oregon still good
25 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas honorable mentions: maryland, ohio state, nebraska, purdue, nova
