With college basketball transfer movement mostly completed, here are our updated Big Ten basketball power rankings for the 2025-26 season.

With rosters starting to relatively finalize via the portal, I have decided to look ahead to next year with my own way-too-early power rankings for the top teams in the Big Ten. A lot can still change before we tip off the 2025-26 season in November, but for now, here's an early look at how I'm gauging the upper half of the league.

History was made Monday night, as Todd Golden became the youngest coach to win a national championship since 1983, guiding Florida to its third title in the past 19 years. So what's next? While some might hibernate from hoops for the summer, we're rolling right into the transfer portal and monitoring the rest of the coaching carousel.

Purdue is ranked as the No. 1 team in the way-too-early 2025-26 college basketball top-25 by another media outlet, with On3 tabbing the Boilers as top dogs.
