Last year Blue Ribbon partnered with EA Sports to provide the team ratings and scouting reports for the NCAA Basketball series. It appears that agreement has continued and includes NCAA Basketball 10. The Blue Ribbon Preseason Top 25 is presented by EA Sports and suggests this will be the Top 25 featured in the game. Also of note for NCAA Basketball 10 is a release date move to Tuesday November 17th just in time for the holiday sales rush.

While the Blue Ribbon Top 25 does not include corresponding team ratings for the game it does provide for the order and an idea of what teams to expect as the strongest. Below is the Top 5 teams. Continue on to view the full Top 25.

1 Kansas
2 Michigan State
3 Texas
4 Villanova
5 North Carolina

6 Purdue
7 Kentucky
8 California
9 Duke
10 Tennessee
11 Butler
12 West Virginia

go wildcats top 10 baby texas on the game iz not da best and they have cole aldrich like a punk but go jayhawks

I think that the top 12 is accurate and correct for the most part. I don't really agree with the rest of the rankings. I think Georgia Tech is very much overrated along with Syracuse, and I think Washington and Michigan are underrated. I don't really know why Oklahoma State is ranked for me. Siena maybe good, but I don't know if they deserve a 25 ranking over Mississippi State, or Clemson. Minnesota is overrated to me as well.

Big Blue is BACK WHAT UP MANNY AND PEEDI!!!! GO BLUE!

jack

I don't know if anyone has connections but I would like to see customizable top 25 rankings so that when they get it wrong at the beginning of the year you could change it to fit the week your in.

jack

what about ucla

scheel1o

Sienna in the Top 25? and even more confusing, Wisconsin isn't? WTF???

Buddha

UK should be number 1!!!

Tommy Dempsey

You guys are out of your minds if you don't think Siena belongs in this Top 25 ranking. They are coming off 2 straight NCAA second round appearances and merely upset Louisville to break the sweet 16. Not to mention 4 of the 5 starters are returning, all of which competed on both of those NCAA teams. Just remember the name Edwin Ubiles, a touted NBA prospect for Siena.

chris

How about LSU. We are good at every sport.

Evan

Dayton ooo yeah lol

michael

yea siena will be legit again with ronald moore and edwin ubiles returning

roy

KU runs 9 or 10 deep, got the #1 recruit, his brother is coming over from Memphis, so Kansas is more than deserving of PRE-SEASON, pre-season #1, even though I believe they will be near the top for much of the season.

Mississippi State has a top 25 recruting class. 10 players from last year's team back and is ranked in everyone's publication except I guess EA and Blue Ribbon. EA had better have great gameplay (doubt it) and Online Leagues or Dynasties with 64 Teams (doubt it) to make up for this.

Chuck

Big Ten Dominates the poll

Sovartus

So you are just going to take a Dump on Memphis like that? Wow. We only lost 3 players. We were #3 last year.....It's cool though. See you in the Tourney... I actually feel sorry for KY.... They have to deal with the Cali-ban now....

doncorleone

HEY PASTA, what do you think will drop first, the madden patch, or the roster update?

Skihawks

Amazing how bad the Big Ten has gotten ripped as not being a strong conference yet six teams are in the top 25. Go State!!!

slacker7dy7

Yeah, man I agree. But it is nice seeing michigan back in the top 25.

HustlinOwl

lol as if you guys know college basketball

BernieWilliams

Or you can just download the 09-10 rosters for College Hoops 2k8 on 2k Share...

catgrizinsider

jusmegamer, why shouldn't a mid-major power be ranked? Almost always 2-3 of these teams crack the preseason top 25 and I've seen as many as 5-6 in the top 25 at any given time. Do you actually know anything about this year's Siena team?

jusmegamer

I'm not totally downing Sienna but Mississippi State is in everyone's top 25 and even as high as 15 in some polls. My point is EA is off to a shaky start with realism and you know they will use generic rosters. This game will need superior gameplay and some other intriguing features to make it worth purchasing.

Gopher4Life

I love minnesota at 14! Go GOPHERS! Tubby Smith is the man!

theron

No Love for my Noles again damn.

Nova or Texas should be num1 to me

jusmegamer

This is a joke. Anyone that thinks Sienna and some of these other teams is top 25 and Mississippi State is not should not be making a list. I might purchase this game but if these are there ratings it's already 1 strike against the realism meter.

Skihawks

Blue Ribbon provides the rankings based on other pre-season polls, not EA so blame the media....

jusmegamer

What media? All the media outlets I see have Mississippi State in the top 25 and some top 15. On the other hand, none have Siena ranked other than Blue Ribbon.

costillaman

Good to see the Gophers in the top 25.

Sidewinder

I was just going to say how surprised I was that Illinois wasn't on the list, but they sneaked in at 25.

Bruce Webber has the same kind of team that lead them to the championship game back in 03 and I think they might be a dark horse this year.

@tygorz

Illinois is going to be similar to last year, if not a little better. Definitely going with a guard oriented team, which you are hinting at in your post. Illini fans have reason to be optimistic the next few years with the recruits coming in, but still give it a year or two yet!

Boiler Up

Are you joking? He had Deron Williams, Luther Head and Dee Brown on that team. Augustine played in the NBA too. Noone on their team now compares w/ those guys!

steve

c'mon man. It's Weber, not Webber. They made it to the championship game in 05, not 03

Sidewinder

Lol. I'm too much of an Illini outsider I guess. Hopefully you get my point though.

Brian

Louisville not ranked after getting number 1 overall seed in NCAA tournament. Yea right

Skihawks

Again, a team that lost a lot of its starters. Rankings are not based on last year, they are based on how many starters and key players are returning....

MadCard05

Louisville losing T'Will is huge, but they're sliding Samardo over to PF and having Jennings play C to soften Clark's lose by a good amount. Louisville is a much much better team than they're being given credit for.

slacker7dy7

Hey Pasta,

Do you know when we are going to find out any information on this game? I am expecting online dynasty. Hopefully EA will deliver. Do you know if they are converting this year to the same shooting mechanics Live 10 is using now? Love to hear your thoughts. Thanks man.
