Rankings Only · Individual Ballots Not Yet Available

Rankings-only AP results from ESPN and College Poll Archive, compared with retained season archives. Individual voter ballots and receiving-votes teams are not included. Source dates remain unverified release labels until AP corroboration is recorded. Unavailable or disputed first-place counts are blank, never inferred.

Sources and Coverage

All 19 ranked lists were compared across retained source tables. This edition contains 475 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 2016 season. Unverified publication dates remain unspecified in the downloads.
