College Basketball Rankings 2025 Final 11 to 25: Michigan, UConn, BYU

Originally posted on College Football News | Last updated Apr 8, 2025 2:54 AM ET

All the teams here did something well - right up until they got knocked out of the NCAA Tournament.

Even more than most of the teams in our rankings, this group from 11 to 25 pushed their way through the pack by winning a few games when it mattered most - and then almost all ran into a brick wall of a top two seed.

The regular season results mattered, too, of course, but none of these teams got to the Elite Eight.
