The 2024-25 men’s basketball season isn’t far behind us and prognosticators are already publishing their early preseason rankings for the 2025-26 season.
We’ve brought them all together for you with the most recent updates.
So far, we’ve aggregated 12 media rankings (shown below), assigning a No. 1 ranking 25 points, a No. 2 ranking 24 points, and so on.
The rounded result is divided by 11 and subtracted from 25, yielding the SuperWest Composite Rank.
Schools ranked by just one media outlet (in this case, Saint Mary’s and San Diego State) appear in the individual ranking but not in the composite.
Preseason Composite Rankings as of May 2, 2025
