Data Gaps and Errata

The data behind this site is checked against 4 rules each time the site is generated. No findings are open as of the last update shown below; the data is kept up to date as seasons happen, so some findings simply reflect events still in progress.

AP poll size (0 findings)

Every AP poll ranks 20 teams through the 1988-1989 season and 25 from 1989-1990 on. Ties at the cutoff can add teams to a poll, never remove them.

No exceptions.

AP poll ranks (0 findings)

Ranks in a poll run from No. 1 without gaps; tied teams share a rank and the next rank is skipped (two teams at No. 5 are followed by No. 7). No team appears twice in a poll.

No exceptions.

NCAA Tournament rounds (0 findings)

Every NCAA Tournament has 16 Sweet Sixteen teams, 8 in the Elite Eight, 4 in the Final Four, 2 in the championship game and one champion.

The latest tournament is counted while it is being played, so it falls short until the final.

No exceptions.

Team facts (0 findings)

Every school that appears in a poll or a tournament has team facts: a full name and a primary color.

No exceptions.
