Week 3
This is a series I’ve now been doing for 11 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.
Some errors again on getting the individual ballots until a few hours after the poll was posted. Went a little smoother this week, so they may still be sorting some issues out. Kevin Carter did not vote this week, so we had 65 ballots.
The most consistent voters this week was Julian Mininsohn. Spencer Ripchik is in first on the season. Joe Arruda, Michael Katz, Julian Mininsohn, and Garland Gillen were behind him in the top 5.
Sam McKewon was the biggest outlier this week. He is also the biggest outlier on the season, followed by Jon Wilner, Greg Madia, Koki Riley, and Kirk Bohls.
