We are 15 days away from tip-off, and the Frogs are ranked #20 in the preseason AP Poll and picked to finish 4th in the Big 12.
AP Poll:
1. Kansas (Adidas scandal to the top!)
2. Kentucky
3. Gonzaga
4. Duke
5. Virginia
6. Tennessee (remember when UT fired Rick Barnes?)
7. Nevada (TCU opponent last year, good team)
8. UNC (cheating ain’t no thing)
9. Villanova
10. Michigan State
11. Auburn
12. Kansas State
13. West Virginia
14. Oregon
15. Virginia Tech
16. Syracuse (dammit)
17. Florida State
18. Mississippi State
19. Michigan
20. TCU (go Frogs)
21. UCLA
22. Clemson
23. LSU
24. Purdue
25. Washington
TCU opponents Flordia, Texas Tech, USC, and Texas receiving votes.
Frogs will play 12 games against teams ranked or receiving votes in the preseason AP spill.
Not receiving votes: Baylor, SMU, OU, OSU, ISU
Big 12 Preseason Coaches Poll:
1. #1 Kansas (unanimous)
2. #12 Kansas State
3. #13 West Virginia
T-4. #20 TCU
T-4. RV Texas
6. Iowa State
7. RV-Texas Tech
8. Oklahoma
9. Baylor
10. Oklahoma State
I think Tech is ranked too low. They were an elite 8 team with a good recruiting class. I’m confused by Iowa State at 6 as well.
Roster:

Frogs have a 15-man roster with the max 13 scholarships and 2 walks ons (Aschieris and Arnette). Only 2 seniors - JD Miller and Alex Robinson and a total of 7 true and red shirt scholarship freshmen.

Notable that we only have 1 Big 12 home game without students (vs. pre season Big 12 #9 Baylor) but get 3 Big 12 road games while the opponent’s students are still on winter break @ KU, K-State and OU.
We have several possible Big Monday games—@ Tech, v. Kansas, v. K-State.
NET replaces RPI:
As a reminder, RPI is dead. A new NCAA ranking system “NET” will be used starting next month. More here: https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketbal...-mens-basketball-committee-adopts-new-ranking
