The AP poll has had a simple mandate over its 75 years of existence: pick the best teams in the country each week. Those teams now all come from the NCAA’s Division I membership. But in the poll’s earliest days — especially before most historically Black institutions were considered NCAA members — the lines were a bit more blurred. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola, File) FILE PHOTO
