2012-2013 Preseason Top 25 (and more) - May 19 2012

Woke up early on a Saturday and wanted to see what the prognosticators were saying regarding this coming season's Top 25.  Took a look at 11 very early listings (CBS, ESPN, CNNSI, NBC, Rivals, CollegeHoopsNet, Sports Bank, Athlon, MercuryNews, Ringer Sports, and BigLead).  Gave 25 points to the top rated team in each poll, 24 to the second rated team, and so on ... and here's where they rank:

1 - Indiana (271) - First or Second in every poll
2 - Kentucky (249)
3 - Louisville (244)
4 - Michigan (209)
5 - Kansas (203)
6 - NC State (201)
7 - North Carolina (188)
8 - Baylor (181)
9 - Florida (180)
10 - Syracuse (178)
11 - Ohio State (164)
12 - Duke (158)
13 - Michigan State (150)
14 - San Diego State (122)
15 - Memphis (114)
16 - Creighton (104)
17 - Arizona (96)
18 - Wisconsin (89)
19 - Gonzaga (68)
20 - Notre Dame (55)
21 - Butler (36)
22 - Texas (33)
23 - Virginia Commonwealth (31)
24 - UCLA (30)
25 - Missouri (30)

Others with more than 10 - Kansas State (27), UNLV (23), St. Louis (22), Cincinnati (21), Marquette (19), Tennessee (17), Maryland (13), Villanova (12)

NOTE:  Many of these listings were completed before some major announcements (Shabazz to UCLA, Amile Jefferson to Duke) so expect significant shift over the summer.

My VERY Early 2012-2013 NCAA Basketball Bracket - Rankings

Okay, it's probably to do this so early, without knowing who still might turn pro or where some other top prospects might land.  But here is my initial take on what I think the next field of 68 would look like (if it was selected today).

2 Seeds - North Carolina, NC State, Kansas, Baylor
3 Seeds - Syracuse, Florida, Memphis, Duke
4 Seeds - Arizona, Michigan State, Ohio State, Creighton
