The moment that a lot of our statistically inclined writers and fans is finally here for college basketball—THE RELEASE OF THE PRE-SEASON KEN POMEROY RANKINGS! These usually come out in late October, so it was a nice surprise to see them come out yesterday afternoon.
Wake Forest finished the 2016-17 ranked 36th nationally, and after the losses of John Collins and Dinos Mitoglou to the professional ranks it was assumed there would be some natural regression. This guess would be correct, as the Deacs are projected as the 57th ranked team headed into this season.
