Rankings from AP Poll

As a result of a scandal surrounding inappropriate benefits received by BYU starting guard Nick Emery from a BYU booster, the NCAA vacated all of BYU's wins for the 2015–16 and 2016-17 seasons with the exception of a 2015 win over Weber State in which Nick Emery did not play.
