You only listed 4. I’ll be the homer and say add UVA and you have 5. That is as good of a top 5 as you can get.

I really have no good alternatives

But I just don’t see Texas Tech, Virginia or Michigan winning it all barring a their sides of the bracket opening up.

They will run into insane firepower at somepoint and be caught off guard. Or just go incredibly cold themselves.

I didn't put Duke omone because I don't know what's up with Jones . Duke cannot win the NC without him at 100%

Michigan and TT especially proving that already.

Pretty much every team is going to have 3-5 games where they play like shit . You can't really judge teams based on those games. You judge teams based on how good they are when they play well and how infrequently they play poorly

The teams who are great when they play well, will almost always win when they just play ok and who rarely play a bad game are the teams who generally win titles. Lots of teams can win 1 game when they play great . Very few can go 6 games without playing poorly in at least 1 of them

Yeah I really struggled coming up with 5. Obviously if Jones is 100 percent Duke is on my list instead

Duke looked pretty damn good unhealthy, but they did have just one starter out for the UVA game

Yep but Jones makes that team go especially on defense . Without his ball pressure in not sure Duke is even a mediocre defensive team
