Over the next couple of weeks, get ready for an onslaught of preseason watch lists, rankings and you know – all of that October jazz.
Except this year, it should be a lot of fun.
For the most part, Iowa State will be a consensus top 10 team heading into the 2015-16 season and on Tuesday morning, CBSSports.com’s Gary Parrish chimed in by placing the Cyclones at No. 6 in this top 25 (and one).
Parrish’s top 10 looked like this…
1 – North Carolina
2 – Kentucky
3 – Kansas
4 – Maryland
5 – Virginia
6 – Iowa State
7 – Duke
8 – Oklahoma
9 – Wichita State
10 – Gonzaga
That’s three Big 12 teams in the top 10 if you’re keeping track at home. Parrish additionally has Baylor ranked 19th respectively.
