With USI finally back in the ranked teams mix, I'm finally a little more enthusiastic about following rankings. This thread will track how teams in the top-25 (and receiving votes) are performing. I'll mostly focus on the NABC polls. This first post will have a lot of information than most because there are so many teams receiving votes. The first regular season poll will be released Nov 19. I'll update this first post through the week with more results. Green represents all wins, orange is a mix of wins and losses, and red is all losses.
