Release Notes

What's new

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

v1.0.9 November 3, 2026

Bug fixes

Poll alert emails now name the sport, for example "Women's College Volleyball Coaches Poll" instead of just "Coaches Poll", so you can tell which sport's poll came out.

v1.0.8 October 12, 2026

Bug fixes

Signing up for email alerts works again. In 1.0.7 the "Send me a confirmation" button did nothing.
The email box on the alerts and alert-status pages now fills the width of the form, and phones show the email keyboard for it.
Switching sport or poll on the rankings page now always opens the most recent season at its latest week, not the season or week you were looking at.
Each volleyball season now starts with a "Preseason" tab, like the other sports, instead of "Week 1". The later weeks keep ESPN's numbers, so the first poll of the season is Week 3, as on ESPN.

v1.0.7 October 12, 2026

New & improved

Women's college volleyball joins the site: the AVCA Division I Coaches Top 25, every week of the 2026 season and the full history back to 1982, on the boards, the team pages and email alerts.
A new sport and poll picker: separate rows for sport, poll and season, with large buttons that are easy to tap on a phone and a clear check mark on your choice.
Tied teams now show as "T-14", the way ESPN shows them, and their up and down arrows count from the shared rank.
The 2025-26 men's and women's AP boards now show points, first-place votes and the teams receiving votes for every week.
Division II boards now read "Preseason", "Week 1", "Week 2" and so on, like the other polls.

Bug fixes

The 2026 Coaches Poll for Week 2 showed the Division II poll by mistake. It now shows the FBS Coaches Poll.
Week tabs that read "Through Games …" now read "Preseason" and "Week 1", "Week 2" and so on, and a duplicate AP preseason tab is gone.
Missing weeks are back: the 2026 FCS Coaches Week 1 and FCS Media Week 3. The 2025-26 basketball Coaches Week 2 now shows the real November poll instead of a copy of the final, and a duplicate AP final is gone.
Schools whose history was split across two team pages, such as Tarleton State, ETSU, Penn and UAlbany, now have one page each.
A poll page now opens on the season's final poll when there is one.
Division II polls no longer lead the front page; they stay on their own rankings pages.
Men's and women's basketball polls now update correctly from the first week of the new season.
Email alerts: a confirmed subscriber's alerts can only be changed from the link in their own email, someone who unsubscribed can sign up again and get alerts after confirming, and the same poll is never emailed twice.

v1.0.6 August 27, 2026

New & improved

Better search-engine discovery: a full sitemap of every archived poll, team, and conference page, plus a unique, descriptive title and summary on each page so results point straight to the right board or team.
Division II men's basketball boards now show each school's conference.

Bug fixes

Asking for a team that's never been ranked now shows a proper "not found" page instead of an empty one.

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.
