HOW TO READ THIS TABLE
Teams are ranked in their order from the Logo (note for mobile users: everywhere you see a “Logo” link, that means that inline flair is shown on old.reddit.com/r/cfb) AP Poll for Week 4. The column to the right of the team name shows the number of points that team received using the AP Poll’s Borda count rules. New for the 2023 season, the following two columns show information about each team’s previous and upcoming games. The following columns show how many votes for each ranking the team received. The ‘U’ column shows how many voters left the team unranked (off their ballots entirely). Gridlines are placed every 5 rows and columns for ease of reading. A thick line is placed below the 25th-ranked team to distinguish “ranked” teams above it to “receiving votes” teams below it.
Some cells are shaded to highlight points of interest. The green diagonal highlights how many voters ranked a team exactly where they ended up in the overall poll. For example, Logo Oregon is ranked 10th in this week’s poll, and 13 voters placed the Ducks exactly in their 10th spot. Values for which a team received no votes at that rank are shaded in red, while placements chosen by only exactly one voter are highlighted in blue. The most common selection (the mode) for each team is shaded yellow. Finally, since there are very few votes that ever end up near the top-right or bottom-left of the chart, those cells are filled in with black diagonally as much as possible without covering up any nonzero values. This helps naturally guide the eye while viewing the chart and helps locate the most unusual votes. We lightheartedly call these the “Wilner” diagonals. Last season’s practice of trolling the team whose rank matches the week number is going to continue this year because I am a bad programmer and can’t make it work again.
NOTES FOR THIS WEEK
The upper Wilner diagonal was set by two votes for Logo Louisiana State in 24th place. Mike Barber’s and Randy Johnson’s selections were 12 spots below the Tigers’ consensus rank in the poll. On the other side, the lower Wilner diagonal was set by the two unique 25th-place votes. Depending on how you choose to order them, the diagonal either belongs to Marc Weiszer’s choice of Logo Louisville or Matt Baker’s inclusion of Logo Auburn. This week features an unusual 4 mode-rank inconsistency, namely Logo Texas over Logo Florida State, Logo Oregon over Logo Utah, Logo Oklahoma over Logo North Carolina, and Logo Duke over Logo Colorado.
The team with the most votes matching their rank is Logo Georgia, as 57 voters placed the Bulldogs in 1st place. On the other hand, the team with the fewest votes matching their rank is Logo Florida, with only 3 voters ranking the Gators in their 25th spot. Altogether, 404 votes matched the team’s rank in the poll. Moreover, 460 votes were off by ±1 rank, 274 were off by ±2 ranks, 168 were off by ±3 ranks, 79 were off by ±4 ranks, and 41 were off by ±5 ranks. The highest-ranked team to be left off a ballot is Logo Colorado, as one voter (Ryan Aber) did not have the Buffaloes on his ballot. The lowest-ranked team to appear on all 63 ballots was Logo Duke in 18th. The two closest teams were Logo Texas and Logo Florida State, with only 2 points keeping the Longhorns over the Seminoles. Conversely, a whopping 150 points (2.4 ranks’ worth) separate Logo Colorado and Logo Miami, more than any other teams only one rank apart.
This week, teams in the receiving-votes section received 101 votes (6.4%) for a total of 291 points (1.4%). Logo Texas Christian received the highest vote of any team in that area, with Colten Bartholomew ranking the Horned Frogs in his 17th slot. 287 distinct team-rank combinations occurred in votes this week, of which 77 were unique. The most common vote was placing Logo Georgia 1st, cast by 57 voters (90%). The team with the lowest variation in votes was Logo Georgia with a standard deviation of 0.503. On the other hand, nobody could agree on where to put Logo LSU. The Tigers had the largest standard deviation of 3.26. This week, 3 teams received their first votes of the season. Welcome to the 2023 AP Poll, Logo Missouri, Logo Syracuse, and Logo BYU! That brings the total number of teams to receive at least one vote this season up to 64. In addition, 3 teams received a vote this week after receiving none last week, but getting some in earlier weeks. Welcome back to Logo Louisville, Logo Florida, and Logo Auburn! Unfortunately, the following 7 teams did not receive any votes this week after getting at least one last week. Depending on your rooting interests, better luck next week or good riddance to Logo Mississippi State, Logo James Madison, Logo Minnesota, Logo Wyoming, Logo Arkansas, Logo Oklahoma State, and Logo Cincinnati.
TEAM PROGRESSION WEEK BY WEEK
Now available in regular or dark mode! Some of the bugs have been cleaned up, but please let me know if you find any more. Each team that has received a vote in any week is included, even if they have since fallen out of the receiving-votes section entirely.
BALLOT CHANGES BY VOTER
Now you can quickly compare how each voter’s ballot changed this week and since the start of the season! Like the team progression tables, this is a bit wonky, but something is better than nothing. Please let me know what you think and give me any feedback or bug reports you notice.
Also, this made me realize how many repeat and near-repeat names the voters have this year. There are two Adams and a Ms. Adams; two Brians; a Creg and a Greg; two Daves and two Davids; two Emilies; a Jon, two Johns, a Johnny, and two Mr. Johnsons; two Jordans; two Kirks; a Ron and a Don; two Ryans; two Scotts; a Steve, Steven, Stefan, Stephen, and a Mr. Stephenson; two Toms; two Mr. Williams; a Mr. Murphy and a Mr. McMurphy; a Robert and a Bob; three Matts; four Mikes, a Michael, and a partridge in a pear tree.
