Notes:
The week 2 Coaches Poll was released on the same date as the week 3 AP poll. No Coaches poll was released on the date when the week 2 AP Poll was released.
The AP poll does not release a final poll after the NCAA tournament, where as the Coaches Poll does.
Due to the cancellation of the NCAA and NIT Tournaments, the Coaches Poll did not release a final poll.
