The big weekly rankings hit the fans every Monday. That’s when the Associated Press (AP) Top 25 and the USA Today Coaches Poll release their new lists. If you’re a March Madness hopeful, mark your calendar – a fresh ranking can change a team’s whole outlook in just a few days.
Why Monday? The polls need time to look at the weekend’s games, weigh up wins and losses, and tally votes. By the start of the week the numbers are in, and everyone can see where their favorite squads stand.
The AP poll is built from votes by sports writers across the country. Each writer ranks their top 25 teams, and the points are added up. The Coaches poll works the same way but uses votes from current college coaches. Both groups watch games, check stats, and consider recent performances before casting their ballots.
It’s not just about win‑loss records. A team that pulls off an upset against a higher‑ranked opponent can climb several spots. Conversely, a loss to a lower‑ranked team can send a program tumbling down the list.
These rankings are a snapshot, not a guarantee. They give fans and analysts a talking point, but the real drama happens on the court during March Madness.
For anyone tracking their team, keep an eye on the weekly releases. Compare the new list to the old one, note any big jumps, and think about what that means for tournament seeding.
Besides rankings, our college sports coverage includes game recaps, player spotlights, and behind‑the‑scenes photos. Every image captures the energy of the moment – a buzzer‑beater, a celebration, a hard‑won defensive stop.
We update this page regularly, so you’ll always have fresh content. Bookmark it, check back after each Monday poll, and stay in the loop with the latest college sports buzz.
College basketball rankings typically come out every week, usually on Mondays. They're determined by two major polls - the Associated Press Top 25 and the USA Today Coaches Poll. These polls are based on the votes of sports writers and coaches, respectively, who take into account the teams' performance in games during the previous week. It's an exciting time for fans as these rankings can shift dramatically due to upsets and breakout performances. Always remember, the rankings are just a snapshot of that moment in the season, and plenty can change as we approach March Madness!
