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 2022 season. Unverified publication dates remain unspecified in the downloads.

Historical Coverage

Historical Data · Reconstructed Edition

Historical source reconstruction may contain transcription or attribution errors. All 16 polls retain complete ballot coverage and reproduce their retained archive totals. Matching totals do not prove each named ballot. The original Tom Murphy September 25 list is preserved with the later reported correction disclosed; the full revised ballot is not available.

Sources and Verification

1,008 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 16 releases with complete ballot coverage; 0 also have a separate dated AP result table. Complete, unchanged author lists agree with 1 ballots. No complete AP-hosted named-ballot set was available for direct comparison.

Archives may share upstream material; matching grids are not independent voter confirmations.

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.
