AP Poll at 11

Predicting AP Top 25 college basketball rankings:

5. Texas Longhorns

Last season's final ranking: 22

Texas was the "Cinderella" of last season's NCAA Tournament as the lone double-digit seed to reach the Sweet 16. Heading into Year 2 of the Sean Miller era, the expectations will be higher than ever after Texas brought back star big man Matas  Vokietaitis and landed David Punch and Isaiah Johnson in the transfer portal. Texas also landed Marcus Spears Jr., the top-ranked player in the 2027 recruiting class by 247Sports, before he reclassified up to join the Longhorns one year early.

Key fifth-year players in eligibility limbo: None

5. Texas

Strengths: Sean Miller and Texas raided the transfer portal early with Isaiah Johnson and David Punch among the key additions ready to play alongside breakout center Matas Vokietaitis. They then doubled down with a big recruiting cycle, including Austin Goosby and reclassified freshman Marcus Spears Jr.

Questions: This Longhorns team brings in 11 new faces to the roster, more than any team around them in the projected AP Poll. They also faced a preseason injury, with transfer guard Mikey Lewis going down recently.
