The AP formulated 68-years of their weekly rankings, and compiled an all-time Top 100 featuring the UTEP Miners ranked as #96th.
To determine the all-time Top 100, the AP formula counted poll appearances (one point each) to mark consistency and No. 1 rankings (two points each) to acknowledge elite programs. It’s a basic poll measuring the consistent college basketball programs over the time span of the AP's weekly poll, UTEP finished with 60 points.
Over the past 68-years, the AP has produced 1,100 weekly polls with a total of 200 schools making the AP poll which started ranking the top 20 teams, then was reduced to a top 10 format before returning to a top 20 format.
