Hello College Basketball Fans !!!
Well, here is the list you've all been waiting for. What follows is a
compilation of all of the major pre-season college basketball rankings.
The following magazines are included:
SpNw = The Sporting News
S&Sm = Street & Smith's
DVit = Dick Vitale's Basketball yearbook (not really major)
GmPl = Game Plan Basketball
InSp = Inside Sports
Sprt = Sport Magazine
SpIl = Sports Illustrated (hit the stands today)
AP = Associated Press pre-season poll
Points are calculated in the usual way. 20 points for first place, 19 for
second, 18 for third, and so on. Some magazines included more than
twenty teams in their rankings. Only the top twenty of those magazines
are included here.
A note: Some of the early magazines ranked some teams based on the fact
that certain players were going to play for them (Cedric Henderson at
Georgia and Tito Horford at LSU to name a couple). Those rankings should
be taken with that in mind.
Two publications are missing from this list and will be included in a
followup posting when available. Those are the UPI and USA Today rankings.
In that posting, I will also put in a scaling factor to the different
rankings based on the date published and information contained therein.
Enjoy,
