Preseason Top 25 College Basketball Poll

The AP top 25 was released recently with Kansas ranked as the preseason #1 team. Each season, there are between 8-12 teams that have a legitamite shot at winning the naional championchip. This seasons preseason top ten are: #1 Kansas, #2 Michigan St, #3 Texas, #4 Kentucky, #5 Villanova, #6 North Carolina, #7 Purdue, #8 West Virginia, #9 Duke, and #10 Tennessee.

This year there seems to be wide open in who could win the title. The defending champions, North Carolina, have arguably one of the best frontcourts in the nation led by Ed Davis and Deon Thompson. The concern with North Carolina is how are they going to replace Ty Lawson at the PG position. Larry Drew II will start the season as the teams starting PG. That is the most concerning position with the defending champs. A team that I really like this year is Texas. Texas is led by two seniors, Dexter Pittman and Damion James, and have one of the top rated freshman in the country in Avery Bradley.

The four teams that I think will reach the Final Four this year is: Kansas, Michigan St, Texas, and North Carolina. My NCAA final matchup is going to be Kansas vs Texas. And the team I think is going to win the title is Texas.
