This past week in college basketball brought a wave of upsets and impressive performances, particularly from teams competing in multi-team events. These results sparked a significant movement in the Mid-Major Basketball Top 25 Poll, with five new teams debuting in this week’s rankings.
While college football follows a clear structure with automatic-qualifying and non-qualifying conferences for the College Football Playoff, the term “mid-major” in basketball is more subjective. For clarity and consistency, MidMajorBasketball.com defines mid-majors as teams from conferences outside the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC and Big East.
Below is a look at the latest Mid-Major Basketball Mid-Major Top 25 Poll. View last week’s poll here.
