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 10. 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 Oklahoma is ranked 10th in this week’s poll, and 10 voters placed the Sooners 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 Scott Springer, who forgot about Logo Louisville and left them off his ballot. That selection is 11 spots below the Cardinals’ consensus rank in the poll. On the other side, the lower Wilner diagonal was set by Ron Counts’ placement of Logo Liberty in 17th place, putting them 11 ranks above the poll’s consensus on the Flames. The team with the most votes matching their rank is Logo Washington. 55 voters placed the Huskies in 5th place. At the other extreme, Logo Air Force and Logo Kansas both received only 6 votes for 17th and 22nd places, respectively. Altogether, 565 votes matched the team’s rank in the poll. Moreover, 471 votes were off by ±1 rank, 250 were off by ±2 ranks, 111 were off by ±3 ranks, 52 were off by ±4 ranks, and 30 were off by ±5 ranks. The highest-ranked team to be left off a ballot is Logo Louisville, as 1 voter did not have the Cardinals on their ballot. The lowest-ranked team to appear on all 63 ballots was Logo Utah in 18th. The two closest teams were Logo Air Force and Logo Utah, with only 16 points keeping the Falcons over the Utes. Conversely, a whopping 143 points (2.3 ranks’ worth) separate Logo Ole Miss and Logo Notre Dame, more than any other teams only one rank apart.
This week, teams in the receiving-votes section received 77 votes (4.9%) for a total of 216 points (1.1%). Logo Oklahoma State received the highest vote of any team in that area, with Kirk Bohls ranking the Cowboys in his 16th slot. 229 distinct team-rank combinations occurred in votes this week, of which 41 were unique. The most common vote was placing Logo Washington 5th, cast by 55 voters (87%). The team with the lowest variation in votes was Logo Washington with a standard deviation of 0.471. On the other hand, nobody could agree on where to put Logo Oregon State. The Beavers had the largest standard deviation of 2.83. This week, 1 team received their first votes of the season. Welcome to the 2023 AP Poll, Arizona! That brings the total number of teams to receive at least one vote this season up to 69. In addition, 1 team received a vote this week after receiving none last week, but getting some in earlier weeks. Welcome back to Logo Kansas! Unfortunately, the following 5 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 Duke, Logo Kentucky, Logo Wisconsin, Logo UNLV, and Logo Florida.
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.
| NEXT PROJECT - TEAM SPECIFIC BALLOT CHANGES |
|---|
Nobody read this last week or the week before, so I made the heading big this time.
Similar to the section above, this will look at changes in ballots from one week to the next. However, instead of comparing each team for each voter, these tables will consider one team and each row will show how each voter moved them compared to the previous week. This is a rough “it doesn’t even work yet” concept, so please provide any ideas you may have about what would be cool to see in it. Should I sort the table by the previous week’s ranks, the new ranks, or the change in rank?
