Florida stays No. 1 in CBS Sports Top 25 basketball rankings

Summary

Florida basketball remains at the top of CBS Sports' Top 25 And 1 rankings as of August 11, 2026. The Gators solidified their position following a ruling that granted another year of eligibility to Class of 2022 players. Florida is highlighted by the return of Denzel Aberdeen, a transfer from Kentucky, alongside six of the top seven scorers from their last season’s squad. Other teams, including Arizona and Gonzaga, also moved up, but Florida's lineup and strong returning core have solidified their status as preseason favorites.
