College Basketball Season is almost here. It is time for some ACC Basketball Power Rankings.

College Basketball season is back and ACC Basketball will be awesome.

Let’s be clear, the ACC is loaded.

Need proof?

The ACC has five ranked teams in both the AP Top 25 and Coaches Top 25. Three of those teams are in the Top Ten in both polls.

The ACC also has six ranked teams in ESPN’s initial Power Rankings. This includes four teams in the Top Ten.

Dick Vitale has eight teams in his early field, while Joe Lunardi has nine. Four of those teams are a three seed or higher.

In other words, the KIH Rankings Guru has got his work cut out for him. Luckily for you guys, I am more than willing to give this a try.

With no games played, these rankings are very fluid. The bottom three squads and the top three seem to be pretty set. The middle nine could be interchanged multiple ways and they still might not be right. So with all that said, let’s delve into these ACC Basketball rankings.

(Note: All recruiting rankings are based off ESPN numbers for 2016).
