The method
About the Sideline Composite
The composite averages each team's position across the largest weekly polls for its sport: the AP and AFCA Coaches polls for football, the AP and USA Today Coaches polls for men's basketball, and D1Baseball for baseball.
Blending independent polls gives a cleaner read on national consensus, especially in the middle and lower half of the Top 25 where individual ballots tend to diverge.
In season, the page refreshes twice daily after new polls publish. During the offseason, the most recent final ranking remains visible until preseason ballots are released.
