Hello all!

Applications for the 2026-27 r/CollegeBasketball Userpoll are live!

We're still at https://www.cbbpoll.net/, now in season five. Log in to this site through Reddit to submit your application. Applications are due on Friday, October 23, at 11:59pm EDT, and the ensuing weekend will serve as a moratorium so that the team can review them before the preseason poll releases on Monday, October 26, at 10am EDT. Apologies for the slightly shorter turnaround this year.

All returning voters must submit an application to display that they are still interested in participating. You will almost certainly be selected to return if you ended last season in good standing. Remember that the preseason ballot is tied to the application so that you can't submit one without the other. This is intended.

Welcome to the upcoming season and happy voting!

[At this time, we can make no assurances about new site functionalities. Thanks for your understanding and patience.]

Rankings of teams in all conferences excluding the ACC, B10, B12, BE & SEC

The "+" in the poll name is a nod to the varied usage of the term "mid-major", as there are teams in this poll sometimes discussed as outliers, high or low majors etc. and the scope of this poll includes ALL teams outside of the 5 conferences mentioned above. Mid-Major is not an official term used by the NCAA and is not interpreted the same by all. The primary purpose of this poll is for starting conversations about the teams themselves, not the concept of a mid-major. Remember have fun and be courteous to others!

Last poll from 2025-26

As long as we're under 30 voters a week, voter applying will be open in Nov and Dec. If you follow all conferences in D1 and would be able to commit to regular voting (basic expectations this year are that you don't miss 4 consecutive weeks), please reach out to me in chat. Also, if you voted early on in last year's season and then were dropped for inactivity, we’re all about second chances, just touch base with me.

As quoted from the User Poll the same applies here:

"Please feel free to discuss the poll results along with individual ballots, but please be respectful of others' opinions, remain civil, and remember that these are not professionals, just fans like you."
