TABLE | Dark Mode | Colorblind-Friendly | Black And White
Note: The TV information is missing for a bunch of games this week. I’m haven’t been able to figure out what the problem is.
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 7. 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 USC is ranked 10th in this week’s poll, and 10 voters placed the Trojans 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 Adam Cole’s vote for Logo Utah in 24th place. That selection is 8 spots below the Utes’ consensus rank in the poll. On the other side, the lower Wilner diagonal was set by Scott Springer’s vote for Logo Texas A&M in 21st place, putting them 15 ranks above the poll’s consensus on the Aggies. Springer dropped A&M from 19th and is now the only voter to rank them at all.
The team with the most votes matching their rank is Logo Georgia. 50 voters placed the Bulldogs in 1st place. On the other hand, the team with the fewest votes matching their rank is Logo Kentucky, with only 3 voters ranking the Wildcats in their 24th spot. Altogether, 432 votes matched the team’s rank in the poll. Moreover, 500 votes were off by ±1 rank, 259 were off by ±2 ranks, 136 were off by ±3 ranks, 67 were off by ±4 ranks, and 37 were off by ±5 ranks. The highest-ranked team to be left off a ballot is Logo Tennessee, as Tom D’Angelo did not have the Volunteers on his ballot. The lowest-ranked team to appear on all 63 ballots was Logo UCLA in 18th. The two closest teams were Logo Tennessee and Logo Washington State, who actually tied for 19th. Conversely, a whopping 218 points separate Logo LSU and Logo Kansas, more than any other teams only one rank apart.
Since we had our first tie of the season, I decided to dust off the Condorcet test to see how it compares some teams. By that metric, Logo Washington State belongs above Logo Tennessee by a score of 36-27, as 35 voters had the Cougars above the Volunteers on their ballots. 26 voters had the Vols higher, and one voter each had only one of the teams on their ballot. Despite appearing on two fewer ballots, Logo Miami does belong above Logo Missouri because 8 voters had the Hurricanes higher and 14 voters only ranked the Canes and not the Tigers. Missouri’s corresponding numbers are 3 and 16 voters, respectively. Logo Oklahoma is the Condorcet winner over Logo Penn State, 33-30 as well as by 5 points in the poll. Logo Louisville is not only a Condorcet winner over Logo Oregon State, but also over Logo Mississippi as well! Despite recent head-to-head results, 7 voters have Logo Alabama above Logo Tennessee, and 13 voters have Logo Washington State above Logo UCLA, and one voter even put Logo Texas over Logo Oklahoma.
This week, teams in the receiving-votes section received 116 votes (7.4%) for a total of 291 points (1.4%). Logo Missouri received the highest vote of any team in that area, with Mike Barber ranking the Tigers in his 17th slot. 263 distinct team-rank combinations occurred in votes this week, of which 65 were unique. The most common vote was placing Logo Georgia 1st, cast by 50 voters (79%). The team with the lowest variation in votes was Logo Georgia with a standard deviation of 0.567. On the other hand, nobody could agree on where to put Logo Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish had the largest standard deviation of 3.12. This week, 0 teams received their first votes of the season, the total remains at 66 different teams who have received at least one vote in at least one week this season. A couple teams received a vote this week after receiving none last week, but getting some in earlier weeks. Welcome back to Logo Iowa, and Logo Wyoming! Unfortunately, the following 3 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 Colorado, Logo Kansas State, and Logo Fresno State.
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.
