NCAA Basketball Coaches Poll: ESPN USA Today Top 25 Rankings

Since 1950 coaches from various conferences have cast their ballots for the NCAA basketball coaches poll which is sponsored by ESPN and USA Today(United Press International sponsored the poll until 1991). This year 31 coaches are partaking in the weekly Top 25 rankings. Interestingly for the 2006-2007 season only 6 coaches from the major conferences participated along with 10 mid-major coaches. Nearly half of the voters came from the smaller conferences and it's likely the same this season. A 1st place vote nets 25 points while a 25th place vote nets 1 point.

The NCAA basketball coaches poll for the week of March 17 has 3 ACC teams, two Big 12 teams, 6 Big East teams, 4 Big Ten teams, 3 Pac-10 teams, 2 SEC teams, and 5 mid-majors.
