ESPN Releases New Preseason Top 25 For 2018-19
We have a new preseason top 25 for the 2018-19 college basketball season. It features some changes.
ESPN has updated its "way too early" preseason top 25 poll in the wake of the NBA Draft decisions. Several programs have lost multiple players to the league.
The Worldwide Leader has Kansas at No. 1. The Jayhawks were No. 1 in the last poll, and while they have lost some players to the NBA, they're still bringing back a lot of talent.
Here's the full new top 25:
- Kansas
- Villanova
- Duke
- Kentucky
- Gonzaga
- Tennessee
- Virginia
- UNC
- Nevada
- Michigan State
- Auburn
- Kansas State
- West Virginia
- Virginia Tech
- Oregon
- Syracuse
- Michigan
- Loyola
- Clemson
- FSU
- LSU
- Mississippi State
- TCU
- Butler
- Purdue
There are still some major NBA Draft decisions to be played. Underclassmen that declared without signing an agent can return to school.
This preseason top 25 will likely change a lot after that. Stay tuned.
