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, Virginia Virginia is ranked 10th in this week's poll, and 19 voters placed the Cavaliers 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 team in Week N, so the logo Anozira Housecats in 11th place is not a typo.

NOTES FOR THIS WEEK

This week, the upper Wilner Diagonal was set by a group of four voters who left logo Auburn off their ballots, which is at least 10 spots below the Tigers' actual 16th rank. Who set the lower Wilner Diagonal depends on how you order the ties in the receiving-votes section. It could be any of the unique votes for logo Iowa, logo Virginia Commonwealth, or logo North Carolina. Only 25 points separated logo Rutgers at 23rd and logo Saint Mary's at 27th. A few outliers here or there, or a few teams slipping just off the bottom of some voters' ballots, could have made the difference between making the top 25 or falling just short. logo Connecticut (15th) is the lowest-ranked team to appear on all 60 ballots, while logo Marquette (20th) is the highest-ranked team to have their mode be unranked. Finally, shout out to logo Virginia Commonwealth for receiving a vote for the first time this week and forcing me to add their logo. It's been a while since I've had to add a new logo.

162 votes were cast for teams outside the Top 25, totaling 574 points. 353 votes matched their the team's rank in the poll. The most-matched team this week was logo California Los Angeles, with 37 voters placing the Bruins in 5th place. On the other hand, only one voter - Dave Borges - matched logo Rutgers at 23rd. This is the first week that a team has had only one match since I've been keeping track. Moreover, 812 votes were within ± 1 rank, 1013 votes were within ± 2 ranks, 1142 were within ± 3 ranks, 1227 were within ± 4 ranks, 1285 were within ± 5 ranks, and 1337 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.

43 teams received at least one vote this week: Houston Kansas Purdue Alabama UCLA Gonzaga Texas Xavier Tennessee Virginia Arizona Iowa State Kansas State TCU Connecticut Auburn Miami Charleston Clemson Marquette Baylor Providence Rutgers FAU Arkansas NC State St. Mary's Arizona State New Mexico Illinois San Diego State Michigan State Duke Wisconsin Creighton Kent State Boise State Texas A&M Missouri Ohio State Iowa VCU North Carolina
