We have just under one month until College Hoops and I cannot be more excited to get the 2018-19 college basketball season going. On November 6th, the season kicks off with two massive games in the Champions Classic, which will be played on the first day of season for the first time. Michigan State takes on Kansas and Duke faces Kentucky to start the year off with a bang.

Throughout the year, I will once again be doing weekly posts covering the entire season. This year, we will be doing own top-25 instead of researching and highlighting the AP Top-25, and also continue doing power rankings for each of the power conferences. Also included in this article is the top-25 Mid-Major schools.
