In 2025 Texas Tech finally got over the hump and finished in the AP Top 10 for the first time in school history.
The Red Raiders finished #7 besting a #11 finish in 1938 and 1973.
So who’s next?
Here are your 5 P4 schools who have never finished in the AP Top 10 along with their highest historical ranking:
Rutgers - finished #12 in 2006
Vanderbilt - finished #12 in 1948
NC State - finished #11 in 1974
Wake Forest - finished #15 in 2021
Virginia - finished #13 in 1951
EDIT for a fun fact: Vanderbilt is the only P4 team to never make the Preseason AP Top 25 in school history. I’m guessing that could be in jeopardy this year.
