Poll Applications for the r/CollegeBasketball User Poll are now live!

17 Upvotes

Hello all!

Applications for the 2026-27 r/CollegeBasketball Userpoll are live!

We're still at https://www.cbbpoll.net/, now in season five. Log in to this site through Reddit to submit your application. Applications are due on Friday, October 23, at 11:59pm EDT, and the ensuing weekend will serve as a moratorium so that the team can review them before the preseason poll releases on Monday, October 26, at 10am EDT. Apologies for the slightly shorter turnaround this year.

All returning voters must submit an application to display that they are still interested in participating. You will almost certainly be selected to return if you ended last season in good standing. Remember that the preseason ballot is tied to the application so that you can't submit one without the other. This is intended.

Welcome to the upcoming season and happy voting!

[At this time, we can make no assurances about new site functionalities. Thanks for your understanding and patience.]

83 Upvotes

The open circle is each team's preseason rank; the filled dot is where it finished in last season's final poll, released after the title game.

Biggest slide: Michigan won the title and was No. 1 in the final poll. They open at No. 16.

Also down: Iowa State, from No. 8 to No. 18.

Biggest climb: Texas, from No. 22 to No. 7. Louisville (23 → 11) and Miami (24 → 14) also moved up a lot.

New to the poll: USC, UCLA, Kentucky and BYU all open ranked after missing the final poll.
Who's ranked too high, or too low?

From the article:

"Bob is living with a progressive cognitive condition that has begun to affect his memory, and aspects of his daily life. While the family has chosen to keep this matter private over the past several months, they believe this is an appropriate time to share the news with the many people who have supported Bob throughout his remarkable career, particularly as he prepares to be honored with induction into the University of Cincinnati's James P. Kelly Athletics Hall of Fame," a statement reads.
