Roy Williams speaks for college basketball fans everywhere upon reading my preseason top 25 poll. ROBERT WILLETT

CHAPEL HILL — The Associated Press really lowered its standards this year. That’s right: I’m a voter in the AP top 25 college basketball poll.

The first poll will come out on Friday. I sent in my ballot today – along with my preseason team of five All-Americans. Each week in this space, during the season, I’ll post my ballot and will include some thoughts with it.

For now, my thoughts are these: I feel confident that Indiana and Louisville are the two best teams in the country entering the seasons. The Hoosiers and Cardinals are first and second in my poll.

Beyond that? Questions. Lots of questions.
