HOW TO READ THIS TABLE

Teams are ranked in their order from the AP Poll for the current week. The column to the right of the team name shows the number of points that team received using the AP Poll's Borda count rules. The following columns show how many votes for each ranking the team received. The column shows how many voters left the team off their ballots entirely. Gridlines are placed every 5 lines for ease of reading. A thick line is placed below the 25th-ranked team to distinguish "ranked" teams above it to "receiving votes" teams below it.

Some cells are shaded to highlight points of interest. The green diagonal highlights how many voters ranked a team exactly where they ended up in the overall poll. For example, UCLA UCLA is ranked 10th in this week's poll, and 21 voters placed the Bruins exactly in their 10th spot. Values for which a team received no votes at that rank are shaded in red, while placements chosen by only exactly one voter are highlighted in blue. The most common selection (the mode) for each team is shaded yellow. Finally, since there are very few votes that ever end up near the top-right or bottom-left of the chart, those cells are filled in with black diagonally as much as possible without covering up any nonzero values. This helps naturally guide the eye while viewing the chart and helps locate the most unusual votes. We lightheartedly call these the "Wilner" diagonals. We also poke fun at the N-th ranked team in Week N, so logo Gorgonzola chose the wrong week to be ranked ninth.

NOTES FOR THIS WEEK

This week, the upper Wilner Diagonal was set by Aria Gerson, who left [logo[(#f/wisconsin) Wisconsin off her ballot, the only voter to snub the Badgers. The lower Wilner Diagonal was set by Percy Allen, who placed the [logo[(#f/mississippistate) Mississippi State 12th. 126 votes were cast for teams outside the Top 25, totaling 396 points. 371 votes matched their the team's rank in the poll. The most-matched team was [logo[(#f/purdue) Purdue, who were one vote (Percy Allen, for [logo[(#f/connecticut) Connecticut) away from being unanimously #1. On the other hand, [logo[(#f/charleston) Charleston was the least matched, team, with only 4 voters placing them 23rd. Moreover, 805 votes were within ± 1 rank, 1054 votes were within ± 2 ranks, 1212 were within ± 3 ranks, 1288 were within ± 4 ranks, 1344 were within ± 5 ranks, and 1397 votes were within ± 10 ranks. Note that this does not count a 25th-place vote for a team in 27th place as being within 2 ranks. [logo[(#f/baylor) Baylor is notable for having their mode (15) be four ranks higher than their eventual rank (19). The teams in that span of ranks are all within 38 points of each other, and the Bears just got unlucky to end up at the bottom of that bunch.

40 teams received at least one vote this week: Purdue Houston Kansas Connecticut Arizona Texas Alabama Tennessee Gonzaga UCLA Virginia Miami Arkansas Wisconsin Indiana Duke TCU Xavier Baylor Missouri New Mexico Auburn Charleston Ohio State Iowa State LSU San Diego State Mississippi State Kentucky Kansas State Illinois Marquette Providence Virginia Tech Memphis West Virginia Michigan State St. Mary's FAU Creighton
