Submitted on Monday, December 31, 2018 at 12:15AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Virginia
|
If it was up to me, this would be the first poll of the season, right after non-con and right before conference play. |
| 2 |
Michigan
|
Preseason polls are stupid. |
| 3 |
Tennessee
|
I'm not basing this poll on previous polls, but starting fresh where I think teams are right now. |
| 4 |
Duke
|
|
| 5 |
Texas Tech
|
|
| 6 |
Kansas
|
|
| 7 |
Houston
|
Good wins against Oregon, BYU, OK St, and LSU. |
| 8 |
Nevada
|
Great win against ASU, and beat BYU by 2 more points than Houston, but no other wins to push them ahead of Houston. |
| 9 |
NC State
|
|
| 10 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 11 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 12 |
Marquette
|
|
| 13 |
Florida State
|
|
| 14 |
Mississippi State
|
|
| 15 |
Buffalo
|
|
| 16 |
Auburn
|
|
| 17 |
Nebraska
|
Their wins against Seton Hall, OK St and Creighton were great. If they win @Iowa and @Maryland this week, they will be close to my top 10. |
| 18 |
Virginia Tech
|
|
| 19 |
Seton Hall
|
My only ranked 3 loss team. Two early losses might be different if played today. They've won 6 straight including a win against Kentucky. |
| 20 |
St. John's
|
Got screwed by the refs @Seton Hall. They probably deserve to be ranked higher. If they beat Marquette this week they will be. |
| 21 |
Kentucky
|
|
| 22 |
Iowa State
|
|
| 23 |
Toledo
|
Have 1 loss. Just beat Penn by 30. A Penn team that has beaten Miami, La Salle, UNI, and Villanova. |
| 24 |
TCU
|
|
| 25 |
Oklahoma
|
Bad loss (by 20) to Wisconsin. Needed OT to beat Northwestern. |
