College basketball preseason rankings

Overview

Early preseason assessments identify Duke and Florida as the primary favorites for the upcoming college basketball season. Duke entered the period as the No. 2 ranked team and the preseason favorite to win the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), supported by returning players and high profile transfers.

Subsequent rankings show a competition for the top spot between Duke and Florida. While Florida has been named the Associated Press preseason No. 1 team due to its veteran frontcourt, Duke leads other power rankings. Betting markets and analysts indicate a significant gap between these two programs and the rest of the field.
