Three SEC Teams Make Preseason AP College Basketball Poll

Come find out who's representing the SEC in the first preseason college basketball poll.

The first college basketball rankings for the 2015-16 season were unveiled on Monday, as the Associated Press put out their preseason top 25.

As expected, Kentucky -- who received 10 first place votes -- was the highest ranked SEC team coming in at No. 2. North Carolina was first with Maryland, Kansas, and Duke rounding out three through five.

In a year where the SEC is expected to take a big leap overall and put more teams in the tournament, the first poll of the season didn't reflect those high expectations.
