Rankings are based upon play on a Monday - Sunday calendar week. During the traditional non-conference basketball season in November and December, rankings will be released bi-weekly. Weekly rankings will begin January 19, 2021 and continue throughout the regular basketball season.
Due to cancellation/postponement of the CIAA and SIAC season, beginning December 22, the rankings will be announced in two classifications: Large Schools (MEAC, SWAC, Tennessee State, and Hampton) and Small Schools (NCAA Division II, GCAC, Red River, and all other remaining NAIA).
