Rankings are nice and all but I’m more concerned with where the committee ranks us in March than where the guy from the Missoula Gazette puts us.
The top 25 started in 1989-1990 season. Before that it was only a top 20. Remember, you're old!
The Associated Press college basketball poll started on Jan. 20, 1949. The original poll had 20 teams, with Saint Louis the first school to hold the No. 1 ranking. From the 1961-62 season through 1967-68 only 10 teams were ranked. It expanded again to 20 teams from 1968-69 through 1988-89. The Top 25 began the next season, and it has stayed at that number ever since. The AP's final poll is released after the field for the NCAA Tournament is selected.Are you sure? Associated Press?
Oh well I have an excuse as you say Hoop.
