| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|
| 1 |   Purdue | Braden Smith is my presumptive best player in CBB. He leads an already deep roster to a potential title. |
| 2 |  Duke | Boozer Bros /Dame Sarr/ Caleb Foster might be the best preseason roster in College Basketball, I'm a believer |
| 3 |  BYU | Just buying into the AJ Dybantsa Hype. Rob Wright should also be pretty great |
| 4 |  Michigan | Dusty May has made me a believer. I've seen Lendeborg in person. The BIG10 should be scared |
| 5 |  Houston | Chris Cenac plus a strong core returning group makes Houston my Big 12 Favorite |
| 6 |  St. John's | I'm a Big East Homer, but this portal class is DEEEEP |

| 8 |  UConn | |
| 9 |  Florida | |
