After the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic canceled March Madness, we have finally (fingers crossed) reached a month in which college basketball will be played. In just over three weeks, teams across America will tip their seasons off in various MTEs in front of little to no fans as the sport that was ripped from us a few months ago returns. It has been a very turbulent time, and as always the teams we will see this season won’t be exactly the same as the ones we saw last season, so here is a fresh CBB Top 25 rankings. These rankings will be followed by team by team previews of those we have ranked until the season begins, and then transitioning into a weekly composite ranking every Monday throughout the season.
