This article is part of our Top 100 Rankings series.
The college basketball season is nearing. We are over the college football hump. As such, allow us to present our first set of rankings for the 2014-15 season. These rankings are based on all of the major stats (points, rebounds, assists, turnovers, steals, and blocks). There aren't many powerful players returning to Tier 1 teams, so the top of the rankings are filled with smaller school players. Freshmen have an asterisk. The freshman rankings are fairly conservative and you may need to bump up first-year players in your league if they are a requirement. If you play in a league that only uses Tier 1 conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, Pac-12, SEC), look for the bold players.
