Poll ranks top NCAA basketball teams with the
National Association of Basketball Coaches
USA TODAY Sports, part of Gannett Co., Inc. (NYSE: GCI), today
launched the 2022 Ferris® Mowers Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll in
conjunction with the National Association of Basketball Coaches
(NABC). For over 25 years, USA TODAY Sports has partnered with the
NABC to publish weekly rankings of the top 25 NCAA Division I Men’s
Basketball teams throughout the regular college basketball season.
The 2022 poll will continue its partnership with Ferris Mowers, a
leading commercial and industrial turf care equipment provider,
part of the Briggs & Stratton family of brands.
The Ferris Mowers Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll is voted on by a
panel of NABC-member Division I head coaches representing each of
the 32 Division I conferences that receive an automatic bid to the
NCAA tournament. Each coach submits a Top 25 team ranking weekly,
with a first-place vote worth 25 points, second place worth 24
points, and so forth. The coaches ranking results are published by
USA TODAY Sports online on Mondays and in print on Tuesdays during
the season.
As part of their continuing entitlement sponsorship, Ferris
Mowers will again present the Ferris Mowers NABC National
Championship Trophy to the Division I men’s basketball team that
receives the highest point total from the coaching panel in the
final poll of the season in April.
"Each year, in collaboration with USA TODAY Sports, we recognize
the best college basketball teams through our weekly Men’s
Basketball Coaches Poll," said Craig Robinson, NABC Executive
Director. "This poll allows college basketball fans across America
to follow their teams’ progress throughout the regular season,
culminating with the NCAA Championship Tournament.”
“The Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll allows NCAA teams, players
and sports fans to closely follow and evaluate the competition and
the weekly changes in the college basketball landscape,” said Chris
Pirrone, General Manager, USA TODAY Sports Media Group. “USA TODAY
Sports is proud to partner with Ferris Mowers and the Coaches
Association to feed passionate fans with the Coaches Poll weekly
rankings, plus provide deep insights and analysis on college
basketball’s trending teams.”
"We're honored to be the entitlement sponsor of the Coaches Poll
and Trophy for the 2022 D1 college basketball season," said Harold
Redman, president of the Turf and Consumer Products Group at Briggs
& Stratton. "These coaches are passionate leaders, who build
teams that are resilient and successful, and we're excited to
celebrate them alongside USA TODAY Sports and the National
Association of Basketball Coaches."

About the National Association of
Basketball Coaches
Located in Kansas City, Mo., the NABC was founded in 1927 by
Forrest “Phog” Allen, the legendary basketball coach at the
University of Kansas. Allen, a student of James Naismith, the
inventor of basketball, organized coaches into this collective
group to serve as Guardians of the Game. The NABC currently has
nearly 5,000 members consisting primarily of university and college
men’s basketball coaches. All members of the NABC are expected to
uphold the core values of being a Guardian of the Game by bringing
attention to the positive aspects of the sport of basketball and
the role coaches play in the academic and athletic lives of today’s
student-athletes. The five core values of being a Guardian of the
Game are advocacy, leadership, service, education and inclusion.
