HOUSTON -- The Way-Too-Early Top 25 always earns its moniker. The first few seconds after the national title game, confetti still wafting in the celebratory air, is a hilariously premature point to try to pin down what the sport will look like in seven months. This is a standard disclaimer. We trot it out every year. We don't pretend otherwise.
And even by those not-exactly-lofty standards, this edition is especially uncertain.
The primary reason -- beyond the dominance in 2015-16 of a vast swath of standard-bearing seniors -- is the NCAA's new NBA draft rules.
