On March 21, we released our first Way-Too-Early Top 25 for the 2020-21 college basketball season. Everything has changed in the seven months since then, and obviously we're not just talking about the sport itself. For long stretches of the offseason, it looked like we might not ever get to a college basketball season, and if we did, it would be an extremely condensed season -- one that might not feature nonconference games.
And while it's not going to be a smooth ride until the Nov. 25 start date, we're officially less than one month away from the first games of the 2020-21 college basketball season.
