Off the bat, I have to mention that this is being published on Monday morning because there are Monday evening games. As such, if you’re reading this paragraph, the rankings listed below are from the preseason Associated Press top 25, not from the new poll that comes out on Monday. Once the poll is out and I’ve updated the rankings, you won’t even see this paragraph any more! Isn’t the internet fun?
After a slow Week 1 on the men’s basketball side of the proceedings, things kick into high gear this week for them. Not only is it Gavitt Tipoff Games week, but we also get the start of Feast Week events even though Thanksgiving itself is still 10 days away when this publishes on Monday.
