Season-by-season records [ edit ]
Until 1997, the UAAP primarily ranked the teams by tournament points using FIBA 's method. Starting in 1998, the UAAP primarily ranked by winning percentage . There's no difference in ranking once all games were played, but in the middle of the season, rankings made by these two methods may differ.
