Week 1 2013-14 LSN College Basketball Ranking.

1.)   Kentucky Wildcats- (21-12) Put a lot of faith into this highly touted freshman class lead by SF Julius Randle.

2.)   Kansas Jayhawks- (31-6) If Andrew Wiggins is as good as advertised, then expect Kansas to finally get back into the Final Four.

3.)   Michigan State Spartans- (27-9) The Spartans return a lot of key players from a team that won 27 games last year, and unlike the other members of the top 4, did not have to reload.

4.)   Duke Blue Devils- (30-6) Jabari Parker is another big name added to an always-talented Duke roster.

5.)   Louisville Cardinals- (35-5) As long as they don’t pull a Kentucky, they should win the American. (What a great name for a conference.)

6.)   Arizona Wildcats- (27-8) The second Wildcats team on this list. They return 2 of the their top 3 scorers, while bringing in a strong freshmen class.

7.)   Syracuse Orange- (30-10) Lead by Senior C.J. Fair, Syracuse should win 30 games again this season, and look to make a deep run in the tournament.

8.)   Florida Gators- (29-8) A good recruiting class and 8 total seniors and juniors returning is always a sign for a good season.

9.)   Oklahoma State- (24-9) Marcus Smart should challenge Kansas for the Big 12 title.

10.) Michigan- (31-8) Can Zak Irvin replace Trey Burke? Or better yet, can anybody?
