ap poll
the ap college basketball poll has been used as a guide for which teams deserve national attention. the poll first began its poll of college basketball teams in 1949, and has since conducted over 1,100 polls. the college basketball poll started with 20 teams and was reduced to 10 during the 1960-61 college basketball season. it returned to 20 teams in 1968-69 and expanded to 25 beginning in 1989-90. the final poll for each season is released prior to the conclusion of the ncaa tournament, so all data includes regular season games only. in 2017, the ap released a list of the top 100 teams of all time. the poll counted poll appearances (one point) and no. 1 rankings (two points) to rank each team.
