It is compiled by a rotating group of 31 college Division I head coaches. The Poll operates by Borda count. Each voting member ranks teams from 1 to 25. Each team then receives points for their ranking in reverse order: Number 1 earns 25 points, number 2 earns 24 points, and so forth. The points are then combined and the team with the highest points is then ranked No. 1; second highest is ranked No. 2 and so forth. Only the top 25 teams with points are ranked, with teams receiving first place votes noted the quantity next to their name. The maximum points a single team can earn is 775. 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Final Oct 15http://sportspolls.usatoday.com/ncaa/basketball-men/polls/coaches-poll/2015/1/ Top 25
