Submitted on Sunday, December 30, 2018 at 7:46PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Duke
|
I believe Duke is the best team in the country right now, playing solid coming into ACC play |
| 2 |
Michigan
|
Still undefeated and playing well coming into BIG play |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
Not a great loss to a team that lost to Princeton but still have talent and great wins |
| 4 |
Tennessee
|
Admiral Schofield is really good, will be interesting to see how this team plays UK and Auburn |
| 5 |
Virginia
|
An elite defensive team, will see how ACC play goes |
| 6 |
Nevada
|
Will be interesting to see if they can run the table, they've met their expectations so far which is impressive. |
| 7 |
Gonzaga
|
Duke's a good win but they're not bulletproof |
| 8 |
Florida State
|
The Seminoles aren't talked about a lot but they have a single loss and a very solid team |
| 9 |
Texas Tech
|
Still an elite defensive team, losing to Duke is definitely forgivable and it was a close game |
| 10 |
Michigan State
|
They are the best challenger to Michigan coming into the conference section of play |
| 11 |
Ohio State
|
Best Ohio State in years is looking to prove themselves in the conference with the most good teams |
| 12 |
Virginia Tech
|
They've been dominating lately since their loss and are looking good |
| 13 |
Auburn
|
Looking forward to their games against UK and Tennessee |
| 14 |
NC State
|
Kind of a dark horse in the ACC, they've only lost to Wisconsin |
| 15 |
Kentucky
|
UNC and Louisville games were impressive for a UK team that's finding their groove |
| 16 |
North Carolina
|
Losing to UK is rough but they have some good wins and talent on the team |
| 17 |
Mississippi State
|
Another solid SEC team I certainly didn't expect to be this good |
| 18 |
Iowa
|
A solid team that has the potential to win the BIG |
| 19 |
Oklahoma
|
I feel like this team is being severely overlooked, they've only lost to Wisconsin and have good wins |
| 20 |
Houston
|
Not the best SoS but being undefeated at this stage is very impressive |
| 21 |
Cincinnati
|
Haven't lost to a bad team, have some good wins |
| 22 |
Nebraska
|
Nebrasketball is playing well and looking to make an impact in the conference |
| 23 |
Wisconsin
|
Losing to WKU is not good but it was a true road game, shows why major teams won't go to midmajors |
| 24 |
Indiana
|
Indiana has lots of solid wins, should fare well in the conference |
| 25 |
Marquette
|
Next Five: Florida, TCU, Villanova, Purdue, Arizona St |
