The Sporting News has released its way-too-early Top 25 college basketball rankings for the 2025-26 season, with Michigan, Duke, and Michigan State leading the pack. The rankings take into account the impact of the basketball transfer period and NBA Draft early entries on the teams' rosters.
Michigan, Duke, and Michigan State top the early college basketball rankings. The Wolverines have a strong roster, with key veteran Morez Johnson and breakout potential from Trey McKenney. Duke will lose a Naismith Award winner but has a talented squad. Michigan State's frontcourt will be rebuilt, but the team has a deeper perimeter. Alabama and Illinois round out the top five, with questions about player departures and arrivals.
