My 2006-07 Preseason College Basketball Rankings

It is my custom to rank the top 65 college basketball teams since that is the number of teams that make the tourney in March. However since these are preseason rankings, I have no desire to breakdown, let alone list, all 65 ranked teams. Instead I will keep it short and sweet by just listing the top 25 (in reverse order for dramatic effect) and let you agree or disagree. As always, comments are welcome!

25. Marquette Golden Eagles (AP-16, Coaches-17)
24. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (AP-23, Coaches-21)
23. Southern Illinois Salukis (AP-27, Coaches-29)
