Rankings Only · Individual Ballots Not Yet Available

Historical rankings may contain source or transcription errors. Ranked positions, points and first-place votes have been compared across sources; known differences are documented. Individual voter ballots are not included.

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.

This edition includes the published ranked teams. Other teams receiving votes and individual voter ballots are not included. 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 2017 season. Unverified publication dates remain unspecified in the downloads.
