This season instead of NET I'm using Bart Torvik (T-Rank) team rankings in the weekly projections.
An * denotes the projected automatic qualifier in a multiple-bid conference, while a team’s current T-Rank is noted in parentheses.
Soon it will be time to set aside all the NIL, pay-for-play, and schools begging fans for more money nonsense and turn our attention back to actual ACTION ON THE COURT. As always enjoy the journey!
