They argubly have the best freshman class. Ceiling is way above any other team, and in preseason I think that's all we're looking for if they live up to their potential.
2
Houston
Houston is a well coached team, one of the best defences in the country, with so many returning players as well Sampson is in line for one of his best seasons ever.
3
Kansas
Bill Self worked hard this offseason, Kansas is a well coached team, its not out of the question that they're one of the best
4
Tennessee
They got some good transfers in along with Zeigler returning. Tennesse performs during the season, during March is a different story, but this could be one of the best Tennessee teams.
5
Alabama
With some new reinforcements, I think the impact to the front will improve Bama to be a top 5 team.
6
UConn
UConn is rebuilt. I dont know how else to explain it barring season ending injuries.
7
Gonzaga
Some new additions, an elite defender, strong end to last year, whats not to like about Gonzaga
8
Baylor
Scott Drew will coach this team to success, they've reloaded on offense in the portal.
9
North Carolina
UNC will be good, but not elite. Still potentially a top 10 pick.
10
Iowa State
A lot of key returnings coming back, some new additions should help keep the momentum going.
11
Purdue
Even with Edey gone, they still have a solid backcourt which should allow them to keep up their momentum of being the best
12
Creighton
Creighton is pretty consistent, if they remain consistent, they will be a top 16 team
13
Arizona
Caleb Love.
14
Indiana
Its do or die this season for Woodson. They have the pieces, they have the players, they just need it to come all together.
15
Marquette
No Kolek? No Problem.
16
UCLA
UCLA might have a down year, but I still think UCLA will be a good team, bringing in some renowned recruits and transfers along with a B10 schedule should help set them up for a potential breakout.
17
Auburn
Age will help you win in the NCAA. Auburn is old, they'll be good, but I'm not convinced they'll overcome some of the better teams.
18
Kentucky
New HC, new players, their is alot of upside to Kentucky. Pope is a good coach, I have no doubts about Kentucky.
19
Florida
I want Florida to do well, last season it seemed to come together, this season they have their key players returning with some good transfers.
20
Saint Mary's
Ton's of players returning, well coached team, always in contention and competiting against Gonzaga, I expect no different this year.
21
Rutgers
They got some of the best recruits, some solid Transfer add-ons, they just need to perform. The Ceiling is there, but so is the floor.
22
Texas
Solid transfers, top 5 recruit, they'll score high. I just have my doubts in their HC
23
Miami (FL)
offense is loaded, defense will be alright, im not too sure how they'll fair but a top 25 deserves a shoutout
24
Boise State
Some key returners, a good HC, experience, I think they'll take on the MW with ease!
25
Princeton
Relatively light schedule (might beat Rutgers), and then smurf in the Ivy. They got Pierce and Lee back, its over for everyone in the Ivy, possibly the CBB.
