 * Comment As much as I hate the existence of these as a college basketball fan, people do come out with preseason rankings well before the season starts: a 30-second Google search came up with two from CBS Sports and ESPN, and I'm sure there's more out there. Therefore it's likely possible to create a referenced table of preseason polls a la 2012–13 NCAA Division I men's basketball rankings (of course someone would need to incorporate these into the article first).

 * Delete - The AP poll that actually determines the rankings won't be out for quite some time. Even so, when it does, I'm sure it'll go into a season article and not its own for just the rankings.   Red Phoenix  build the future...remember the past... 12:23, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete for now but allow re-creation closer to the season when rankings are more prevalent. Jrcla2 (talk) 13:53, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Allow it to be recreated when the rankings come out in 4 or 5 months. No need for it til then.-- Rockchalk 717 01:23, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete While articles like 2012–13 NCAA Division I men's basketball rankings have been created before, a reliable poll needs to come out first. This is premature.—Bagumba (talk) 19:30, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as per the above. May I suggest as well that we look at when, generally, the last few season's rankings pages have been created and maybe protect this title until then? It's obviously a notable topic, when it starts existing. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 19:08, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
