🏀 2026–27 PRESEASON COLLEGE BASKETBALL TOP 50 🏀

Bringing college basketball content back to Instagram! I’ve done a lot of college basketball content on TikTok (@ryryranks), where I do most of my college basketball coverage, and I wanted to start bringing more of it back over here as well.

These are my personal preseason opinions based on the teams, rosters, returning players, additions, and everything I’ve seen heading into the season. This is VERY early, and things can change a LOT before the season even starts — so please don’t take any of these rankings as set in stone.

There are a ton of really talented teams, and there were definitely some extremely difficult decisions throughout the Top 50. Being outside of a certain spot does NOT mean I think a team is bad or that I don’t respect the program or players.

This is simply meant to be a fun preseason projection and a way to start the college basketball conversation. ❤️

As always, much respect to every player, coach, program and fan base represented. Rankings will change throughout the year, and I’m excited to see how everything unfolds!
