Weekly Rankings · Sources and Coverage

Sources and Coverage

All 16 ranked lists were compared across retained source tables. This edition contains 400 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 2015 season. Unverified publication dates remain unspecified in the downloads.

Historical Coverage

Historical Data · Reconstructed Edition

3 Dated Ballots Withheld · 2015-10-25

Individual ballot statistics use the 58 available lists. Withheld choices are excluded from voter histories, team counts and downloads. NR applies only to an available ballot; unavailable lists are not counted as omissions. Full ballot reconciliation is not claimed for this poll.

Adam Jude: Choices inferred by the grid creator

The image creator explicitly inferred the missing Appalachian State choice from residual poll points. Matching current archive selections do not independently prove that inference. Whole named ballot withheld pending full dated evidence.

Dave Reardon: Choices inferred by the grid creator

Scott Hamilton: Choices inferred by the grid creator

Historical source reconstruction may contain transcription or attribution errors. 3 polls have explicitly partial ballot coverage; unavailable lists are excluded from individual ballot statistics and downloads. Matching totals do not prove every named ballot. Source corrections and gaps are documented.

Sources and Verification

850 ballot records have matching names and choices across retained archives. Corrections, image-only supplements, alternate lists and unresolved attribution carry their own evidence notes. Reconstructed totals match retained result evidence for 13 releases with complete ballot coverage; 0 also have a separate dated AP result table. Complete, unchanged author lists agree with 0 ballots. Dated AP-hosted named lists also agree with 13 individual ballots; these comparisons cover individual lists, not a complete electorate.

Archives may share upstream material; matching grids are not independent voter confirmations. Available-ballot statistics exclude withheld lists. AP result tables retain the full electorate totals.

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.
