Now please bear with me on this. This is just a rough projection and I will be moving these numbers around a lot. I do a lot of research on this stuff during the offseason to prepare for the next season. The preseason top 25 for Mid Major poll will come later tonight. I always think that ones more fun to do! This is ROUGH DRAFT. Positions will be refigured

2.Michigan State
3.Kansas State
4.Purdue
5.Butler
6.Illinois
7.Ohio State
8.Memphis
9.Villanova (could drop)
10.UNLV (Butler opened at 10 in the preseason look what they did)
11.UCLA (Dropping)
12.North Carolina (dropping)
13.Missouri (SOLID top 15)
14.Notre Dame (potential)
15.Washington (probably end up dropping on my final)
16.Xavier (LOCKED IN TOP 25)
17.Kentucky (im giving them more credit then i should IMO)
18.Marquette (will be moved around a lot)
19.West Virginia(will be moved around a lot)
