According to the final Coaches rankings, how do the programs rank all-time, by decade, and by era? Which ones were the best over the 1990s?
Take all the Coaches Poll final rankings and use our CFN scoring system – the AP final regular season No. 1 gets 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom.
This was the decade that saw one massive pivot that distinguished the Coaches Poll from the AP Poll. The AP college basketball poll has always finished up at the end of the regular season. The Coaches Poll switched to delivering its final top 25 rankings at the end of the NCAA Tournament after the 1990-1991 campaign.
That means from 1992 on, the Coaches Poll turns out to be far more representative of the two polls when it comes to judging a season in its entirety. On the flip side, now everything is about the NCAA Tournament when it comes to the top two – for good and for bad.
