In Division I men 's and women 's college basketball, the AP Poll is largely just a tool to compare schools throughout the season and spark debate, as it has no bearing on postseason play. Generally, all top 25 teams in the poll are invited to the men 's and women 's NCAA basketball tournament, also known as March Madness. The poll is usually released every Monday and voters ' ballots are made public.
