Top 25/KenPom/RPI/BPI
 

I haven't checked but my brother just said UC isn't ranked in the AP Poll. Was it #25 in the Coaches Poll?

I believe NTS said we're #28 in KenPom.

Any other rankings for the preseason? (Not the offseason ones for magazines that we've already discussed)

I believe UC came in at #26 in the AP Poll.

This is fine by me. You always want to be in the Top 25 for national perspective's sake, but regardless, we'll probably be ranked pretty high or unranked after the Hall-of-Fame tournament, depending on what happens.

Quick takeaways

1. 
Coaches poll vs. AP poll

The coaches poll, which came out Oct. 20, isn't drastically different from what we have above. In fact, most of it is interchangeable. Cincinnati being ranked there, and not in the AP, while Iowa State is ranked in the AP but not the coaches, is the only difference when it comes to inclusion. The top six teams are the same in each poll.

Here's the reddit poll for r/CollegeBasketball, FWIW: https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBask...oll_preseason/

Bearcats at #24.

TeamkRankings.com has their ranking up.

Given, teamrankings rating system is pretty strange. I think last year after the first few weeks they projected us at a 1 seed after we were scoring 90+ a game and winning by 25-30 each game.

Cincinnati is #1 in the RPI right now!!!! Enjoy it.

Got to play Duke for RPI purposes.

I'll take it, lol!!

We are ranked #24 now.
