We are just a few weeks from the return of college basketball, which means it’s time to finally find out where preseason voters have the Tar Heels in their rankings. Starting with the Associated Press, they released their preseason top 25 rankings today, and UNC has landed in the #9 spot. They are the second-highest ranked ACC team just two spots behind Duke.
The number one team in the country according to AP voters this season is Kansas, followed by Alabama, UConn, Houston, and Iowa State. The entire poll is pretty SEC and Big 12 heavy with some Big Ten and Big East teams sprinkled in.
