College Basketball Rankings 2025 Final 26 to 50: Kansas, North Carolina, Texas A&M
© Denny Medley-Imagn Images

There are 364 college basketball teams playing at the top D-I level, and 314 of them would love to be ranked here.

If you're Kansas and started the season No. 1 in the rankings, yeah, being among the final teams ranked 26 to 50 stinks. The same goes for North Carolina, San Diego State, and others used to hovering around the top 25.

But it was still a good season for all of these teams, and they all got to the NCAA Tournament and had good regular seasons. They just missed out on being in that final 25
