Overall Rationale
TBH with football season and just life happening I haven't paid that much attention to basketball offseason stuff. I am just ranking based off my opinions plus a few preseason top 25s I saw online. As the season goes on, I will be able to form a better opinion of rankings and teams. IDK who I am high or low on rn lol.
