I can't really argue much with the top teams, or the poll in general. This looks a bit better than usual.

I personally like Kansas a bit more than Memphis and UCLA, but I can see why they're there between the injuries to Rush and Arthur and the choking in the tournament. If those two are healthy though they should be tough, eventually if you have enough talent you can overcome iffy coaching. Rush and Arthur are both lottery-type talents, Chalmers-Collins-Robinson is a pretty solid guard trio, Kaun and Jackson can both give you productive minutes, and then you still have Cole Aldrich, a very talent recruit, to add to the equation.

My biggest gripe is with NC State, they should probably be higher. Their front court is ridiculous, Costner, McCauley, and Grant are all impact players, and JJ Hickson is another impact recruit that gets added to the mix. Courtney Fells is a fairly capable SG too. If they get even decent play out of their PG they're going to be solid.
Also, I don't buy Pitt as a ranked team at all, they weren't really that stellar WITH Aaron Gray last year, losing him is just huge. Plus I believe that Levance Fields is suspended for a while.
