Rankings Only · Individual Ballots Not Yet Available

Rankings-only source edition compiled from College Poll Archive and ESPN AP tables, cross-checked with Wikipedia's season matrix. Individual voter ballots are not included. Compared entries agree across sources; Source reported entries carry a documented difference. Release dates are labelled unverified unless an accepted AP edition establishes them. Missing counts are blank, never zero.

Sources and Coverage

All 20 ranked lists were compared across retained source tables. This edition contains 500 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 2025 season. Unverified publication dates remain unspecified in the downloads.
