Remember during the "Gilden Age" of men's basketball when these preseason rankings would come out and the weekly in-season rankings became available? Some of us would constantly refresh our browsers to get the very latest on where WSU landed and then argue how the "Media Hates" us. I could use some "Media Hate" right now. Well..any who, here is the first Ranking by ESPN:

Former Conference Mates
#1 - Houston
#10 - UConn
#22 - Cincinnati

Reviewing the other teams, I wouldn't be surprised (outside the ESPN Holiday Tournament in Florida) that we not get a shot at a Top 25 team the entire season.

"In the month since then, there hasn't been any movement inside the top 10 -- although Dan Hurley's flirtation with the Los Angeles Lakers nearly caused mass chaos throughout the sport. But with the final handful of impact transfers making decisions, as well as a few reclassifications, there continues to be movement in the back half of the top 25...."

Next in line (outside the top 25):
#29 - Kansas State Wildcats

Gonna put this here. Last 10 years, WSU is 43rd in average KenPom finish. Next closest current AAC member is Memphis at 62. Only other one currently in the AAC is UAB at 94.

Kinda surprising since the data is 2015-2024 so it doesn't include the final 4 year or the undefeated season.
