The Top 25 — Top25Rankings

Release Notes

What's new

Every release of Top25Rankings — new features and fixes, newest first.

v1.0.5 August 22, 2026

Bug fixes

The site now reads cleanly on phones — section headings, the poll name beside a title, long team names, and email addresses wrap to fit instead of running off the edge or forcing the page to scroll sideways.
Every team now shows its logo, including the Division II boards and the schools listed under "others receiving votes" — all served from the site.
Conference labels are now consistent and historically accurate on every board: abbreviations are spelled out (for example "Missouri Valley" instead of "MVFC"), and a few older boards with the wrong league were corrected (such as Western Kentucky's 2000 season).

v1.0.4 August 11, 2026

New & improved

Each team's career chart now traces its end-of-season ranking with a separate line for football, men's basketball, and women's basketball — so you can follow a program in each sport at a glance.

Bug fixes

The A–Z jump bar in the team directory now scrolls straight to the letter you click.
Choosing a poll that hasn't posted yet for the new season no longer lands on an empty page — it opens that poll's most recent season, and the year picker is always available.
A season's final poll now simply reads "Final".
The front page now reliably leads with the most recent poll we've published.
Corrected and completed a few older archive boards (for example the 2003 preseason football poll) and removed a stray duplicate final.

v1.0.3 August 8, 2026

New & improved

Men's and women's college basketball now include the Coaches Poll alongside the AP Media Top 25 — with week-by-week history back to 2000 and conference labels on every board.

Bug fixes

Each team now shows with one consistent name and logo across every poll (for example, Connecticut is no longer also listed separately as "UConn").

v1.0.2 August 8, 2026

New & improved

Little sport icons now sit beside each sport label — a football and a basketball, with a distinct red-and-white ball for the women's game.
Sign-ups that aren't confirmed within 24 hours are now removed automatically, so we only keep addresses people have actually opted in with.

Bug fixes

Team logos now appear next to every team on the live site again.
Clicking through several pages in a row no longer trips a "too many requests" message during normal browsing.
A friendlier page now shows if something goes wrong, instead of a technical error screen.

v1.0.1 August 7, 2026

New & improved

Find any team: search by name or browse an A–Z directory of every school that's ever been ranked — not just this week's Top 25.
"Years in the Rankings" on each team page: a season-by-season grid of every year a team was ranked in any poll, across football and basketball, with the seasons it missed shown dimmed.
A career chart on each team page tracing a team's best ranking in every season, so a whole program's rise and fall reads at a glance.
Step through a season week by week: open any season's poll board and use the new week scrubber to move from the preseason poll through to the final.

v1.0.0 August 6, 2026

New & improved

Weekly Top 25 polls for college football (AP Media, Coaches, and the College Football Playoff committee) and men's & women's college basketball (AP Media), with every ranked board back to the 2000 season.
Each board shows rank and weekly movement, conference, record, total points, first-place votes, and the teams receiving votes — with team logos next to every name.
Team pages: a week-by-week ranking chart, the season schedule with each side's rank at game time, and a "Seasons Ranked" list to jump straight to any year that team was ranked.
Conference report: a poll's ranked teams grouped by league, for any sport and season.
Free email alerts with double opt-in — a note when a poll is released, either every release or only when a school you follow is ranked — with one-click unsubscribe.
A read-only JSON developer API: the current Top 25 is free; the full 2000-present archive is available on the paid tier.
