As expected, Indiana is the No. 1 team in the preseason Associated Press top 25 poll released today after receiving 43 of 65 first-place votes from a panel of national media. The Hoosiers are also No. 1 in the preseason USA Today/ESPN coaches top 25 poll.

Indiana’s last appearance at No. 1 in the Associated Press top 25 poll came during the 1992-93 season.

This is the third time Indiana has opened as the preseason No. 1 team in the AP poll.

The Hoosiers were the preseason AP No. 1 in 1975-1976, when they went undefeated and won the national championship and also in 1979-1980.

As was the case in the USA Today/ESPN coaches top 25 poll, Louisville and Kentucky round out the top three.
