One person voted for the Dayton Flyers in the Associated Press top-25 preseason poll.

Dayton is one spot ahead of Ball State, its first opponent on Nov. 10. Seth Davis, of The Athletic, ranked the Cardinals No. 22.

Duke is the preseason No. 1 and is followed by Michigan State, Arizona, Kansas and Kentucky. Cincinnati is 12th. Xavier is 17th. Saint Mary’s, one of Dayton’s opponents, is No. 22.

In the preseason poll a year ago, the Flyers ranked just outside the top 25.
