Soterios's Week Pre-Season Ballot

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Purdue	Braden Smith is the truth. Is this the year of the choochoo?
2	Houston	Milos Uzan is... also....the truth? Sampson defense is real.
3	Florida	Run it back but with a little more Boogie.
4	St. John's	Slick Rick is doing his thing at St. Johns. Their three point shooting potential is scary.
5	UConn	Hurley is a diva who is also good at x's and o's.
6	Duke	All them recruits. Foster/Boozer/Ngongba are a strong core.
7	BYU	AJ Dybantsa hype? Three point hype?
8	Kentucky	Gotta put Pope right behind BYU. Also Oweh is good at squeeky shoes.
9	Louisville	Yum Center will be rocking again with Conwell and McKneely making it rain threes.
10	Texas Tech	JT Toppin is a NPOY candidate. Also Tortillas.
11	Michigan	Cadeau good. Not sure about Yaxel yet.
12	Arizona	Wildly talented front court.
13	Arkansas	Wagner/Knox/Pringle getting buckets
14	Alabama	Breakout NPOY season for Philon?
15	Iowa State	Underrated coach. Lipsey with the ball and Momcilovic on the wing is deadly.
16	UCLA	The used to win a lot?
17	Kansas	If Peterson is as promised and Bidunga makes a big step up they're a top ten team.
18	Illinois	Lotta hard to pronounce names that Underwood will have getting points in the paint.
19	Tennessee	NPOY Nate Ament?
20	Gonzaga	Great guard play. Maybe TGF?
21	Michigan State	Always count on Izzo. Jeremy Fears Jr is an incredible talent.
22	Creighton	All the tres!
23	Wisconsin	Excellent front court. Good guard play
24	NC State	They got that DarrionWilliams guy!
25	Auburn	Younger Pearl ... I don't trust you.
