With seemingly everyone and their mother putting out a preseason ranking this seemed to be a good time to collect as many as possible and combine them for an overall projection of what the 2023 season might look like. We have taken nine polls and tallied up the rankings, awarding 25 points for number 1, 24 for number 2, and so on. The individual polls will run after the consensus top 25.
The list will be updated as more rankings come in, and will be updated as close to the start of the regular season (August 27th) as possible.
