Rankings from AP poll

This is the third season under the Pac-12 Conference name and the 55th since the conference was established under its current charter as the Athletic Association of Western Universities in 1959. Including the history of the Pacific Coast Conference, which operated from 1915 to 1959 and is considered by the Pac-12 as a part of its own history, this is the Pac-12's 99th season of men's basketball.
