Weekly Rankings · Sources and Coverage

Sources and Coverage

All 16 ranked lists were compared across retained source tables. This edition contains 401 ranked positions. Points and first-place counts appear where verified; a dash means unavailable, not zero. Known source differences, reviewed selections and unresolved arithmetic exceptions are documented with the affected polls and downloads.

These rankings downloads contain the published ranked teams. Other teams receiving votes and individual ballots appear in separate ballot editions where available. Sources can share upstream data, so agreement is not proof that every original ballot was correct. Current logos identify programs; they do not represent historical artwork or conference membership.

Week labels follow the retained source sequence. A preseason poll appears only when the sources include one. The final poll belongs to the 2012 season. Unverified publication dates remain unspecified in the downloads.

Historical Coverage

Historical Data · Reconstructed Edition

Historical source reconstruction may contain transcription or attribution errors. 130 supported individual ballots are retained across 13 of 16 polls; coverage is partial and 3 polls have rankings only. The cast-ballot total is unverified. Unavailable ballots are excluded from voter analytics. Original source identities, publication dates and disclosed conflicts are preserved.

Sources and Verification

119 complete named AP publisher lists are retained. 11 complete named lists come from the ballot owners’ original publications. Their publication dates remain separate from AP release dates. No complete electorate or full ballot reconciliation is claimed. Original publisher program labels accompany each ballot and the downloads. Published rankings remain separate from the recovered ballot sample.

The cast-ballot denominator and exact missing-list count have not been separately qualified. Available-ballot measures describe only these recovered lists and agreement with the retained AP ranking edition, not accuracy or the whole electorate. Source display identities are not a verified count of unique people.

Voter names are preserved from the historical records. Participation changes do not establish why a voter was absent or replaced. Current voter profiles and affiliations are not used to fill historical gaps.
