Coaches Poll College Basketball Rankings Final Top 25: 1980 to 1989




 

Where did all the top college basketball teams rank in the final 1980 to 1989 top 25 Coaches polls? Which programs made the cut and which ones just missed out, but received votes?

According to the final Coaches rankings, how do the programs rank all-time, by decade, and by era? Which ones were the best in the 1980s?

Take all the Coaches final rankings and use our CFN scoring system - the Coaches final No. 1 team gets 25 points, the No. 2 team 24, No. 3 23, and so on down to the bottom.

The Coaches Poll didn't start coming out with its final rankings after the NCAA Tournament until after the 1991 season, so there are a whole slew of issues with this decade.

1985 Villanova and 1988 Kansas - both won national titles - don't get any love in this formula.
