This is a series I’ve now been doing for 8 years. The post attempts to visualize all AP Poll ballots in a single image. Additionally it sorts each AP voter by similarity to the group. Notably, this is not a measure of how “good” a voter is, just how consistent they are with the group. Especially preseason, having a diversity of opinions and ranking styles is advantageous to having a true consensus poll. Polls tend to coalesce towards each other as the season goes on.
Jared MacDonald from the Charleston Gazette-Mail voted in the preseason poll, but was replaced by his colleague Chuck Landon, who was in the poll last year.
The most consistent voter this week is Matt Murschel. Newcomer Chuck Landon is in first on the season (but without a preseason poll averaged in). John Pierson, Matt Murschel, Johnny McGonigal, and Amie Just were behind him in the top 5.
At the other extreme, Brett McMurphy was the biggest outlier this week, and also on the season. He is followed by Jordan Crammer, Bob Asmussen, David Jablonski, and Greg Madia.
