OliviaPG1's Week Pre-Season Ballot
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Duke | fuck duke |
| 2 | Florida | don't usually care about exhibitions but I swapped the top 2 bc of florida's against baylor. this team will be good but the shooting makes me a tad bit concerned about their floor. |
| 3 | Houston | I swear to god I'm not just copying kenpom, I am simply kelvin sampson's biggest believer |
| 4 | UConn | dan hurley is a very good basketball coach |
| 5 | Illinois | |
| 6 | Arizona | |
| 7 | Virginia | ryan odom is somehow still insanely underrated lol |
| 8 | Michigan State | |
| 9 | Gonzaga | idc if this is dubious, mark few rocks |
| 10 | Texas | i guess |
| 11 | Alabama | |
| 12 | Louisville | |
| 13 | Vanderbilt | |
| 14 | Tennessee | |
| 15 | Iowa State | |
| 16 | Miami (FL) | |
| 17 | Kentucky | mark pope is overhated, this team will be good |
| 18 | St. John's | |
| 19 | Kansas | |
| 20 | Texas Tech | depending on 5-for-5 stuff this team could be like top 10 or on the bubble lol. splitting the difference here but this is the team I feel most unsure about here. |
| 21 | Purdue | matt painter is one of the best coaches in the sport idc how questionable this roster is this team will be good |
| 22 | Nebraska | ranking nebraska in a preseason poll feels so funny |
| 23 | Arkansas | |
| 24 | Iowa | ben mccollum is very good |
| 25 | High Point | this is not even really a meme mid-major vote I genuinely think this team is gonna go like 31-1 and get like an 8 seed from top 25 resume metrics. |
Overall Rationale
in this time of roster uncertainty, I'm falling back on coaching I trust. sorry michigan fans but mike boynton sucks.
