With the start of the season a little more than a week away, it's time to look at the 2021 preseason rankings. 

It is a difficult task to rank the teams before seeing them play at least once, so some of these rankings are based on the potential of the teams. It also takes into account the college recruits who are on the team, the experience coming back, the league schedule and the program's bloodline.

Let the arguing begin!
