As the 2007-08 basketball season progresses, rankings are updated weekly.

The Associated Press (AP) preseason poll was released on October 29, 2007.

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 NCAA basketball tournament, also known as March Madness.

It is compiled by a rotating group of 31 college Division I head coaches.
