| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Auburn | huge life changes gave me little time to watch full games but i like doing these. |
| 2 | Kansas | i punished losing less if you have the wins to back them up or in dayton's case if they came down to the last few shots. |
| 3 | Iowa State | |
| 4 | Oregon | |
| 5 | Tennessee | |
| 6 | Marquette | |
| 7 | Kentucky | |
| 8 | Gonzaga | |
| 9 | Wisconsin | |
| 10 | Duke | |
| 11 | Purdue | |
| 12 | Alabama | |
| 13 | Florida | |
| 14 | Arizona State | |
| 15 | Cincinnati | |
| 16 | Indiana | |
| 17 | Memphis | |
| 18 | Baylor | |
| 19 | Dayton | |
| 20 | Saint Mary's | |
| 21 | Michigan State | |
| 22 | Ole Miss | since these are provisional the last few slots tend to be overranked by a bit for the fun factor. dont overthink it the further down you go, basically |
| 23 | Georgia | i used highlights and a personal system to guide me although this is not a computer ranking. |
| 24 | Pitt | it was used solely to gain an idea and i ranked them by hand since it uses NET in its math and it's still too early for that. |
| 25 | Drake | a few that missed: Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Miss St,, Wichita State |
as stated i had some big moves in life recently and as such these are provisional and will probably be pretty wack for a while. but that's why this sport is so fun
