According to the final AP rankings, how do the programs rank all-time, by decade, and by era? Which ones were the best over the 2020’s?

Take all the AP 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.

In a strange way thanks to a global pandemic, the 2020 final AP rankings might be the truest of the bunch when it comes giving credit to who the best teams were in the regular season – there wasn’t an NCAA Tournament. At least so far, Gonzaga has had the most regular season fun without the final payoff.
