The Top ten has 3 by the SEC, 3 by the Big 12 and 2 by the Big 10. Perennial Power USC comes in at a strong 5 and I'd also like to welcome ACC Clemson into the Top 10.

16 Virginia Tech
17 Arizona State
18 Penn State

Congratulations to BYU and Fresno State as the only two Non-BCS Conference Teams to make it into the Top 25. The SEC, BIG 10 and BIG 12 each have 5 teams represented in the Top 25, it should make for a great race to #1.

Stay tuned for your Ballito to give a review of the season...

NCAA Men's Basketball Rankings (pre-season)

So normally around this time, college football powerhouses have set their lanes. The BCS race is closed to about 4 teams and we can start worrying about my favorite time of year, (not Christmas) but College Basketball.

With College Football all over the place, the ESPN/USA Today Poll Top 25 rankings came out. I almost missed it, and I'm sure most did too. But since I Love Ya, here it is.
