The Distribution of Votes in the AP Poll (Week 14, 2022-23)
Post Body

TABLE | Dark Mode | Colorblind Friendly | Pastel Mode | Crossword-like


HOW TO READ THIS TABLE

Teams are ranked in their order from the Logo 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 'U' column shows how many voters left the team unranked (off their ballots entirely). Gridlines are placed every 5 rows and columns 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, Logo Marquette is ranked 10th in this week's poll, and 9 voters placed the Golden Eagles 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 Logo Baler at 14 is not a typo.


NOTES FOR THIS WEEK

This week, the upper Wilner Diagonal was set by Dylan Sinn, who felt like Logo California Los Angeles belong in the 18th spot. That choice was 11 ranks lower than the Bruins ended up in the poll. This is the first week in a while where the upper Wilner diagonal wasn't just set by the highest-ranked team to be left off a ballot. The lower Wilner Diagonal was set by either of the two teams at the very bottom. Dave Borges ranked Logo Utah State 24th and Mark Zeigler placed Logo Kentucky 25th. The lowest-ranked team to appear on all 62 ballots was 16th-ranked Logo Gonzaga. Conversely, the highest-ranked squad to be left off at least one ballot was Logo Texas Christian in 17th place. Logo Florida Atlantic have a legitimate argument that they deserve that 25th spot and "ranked-team" status this week because, on a plurality of ballots, they are above Logo San Diego State. 26 voters places the Owls higher, 22 ballots placed the Aztecs higher, and the remaining 14 ballots didn't feel like ranking either team.

132 votes were cast for teams outside the Top 25, totaling 421 points. 391 votes matched their the team's rank in the poll. The most-matched team this week was Logo Purdue, with 38 voters placing the Boilermakers in 1st place. On the other hand, the least-matched team was Logo Iowa State, given that only 2 voters had the Cyclones in their 11th spot. Moreover, 835 votes were within ± 1 rank, 1088 votes were within ± 2 ranks, 1242 were within ± 3 ranks, 1318 were within ± 4 ranks, 1366 were within ± 5 ranks, and 1416 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 because we don't know if the voters who left them unranked would have had the team at 26th, 27th, 30th, 50th, and so on. This means that ranks below 25 are not suitable for comparison directly to whatever rank they end up being. 45 teams received at least one vote this week. 0 teams received their first votes of the season this week, so the total for the season remains at 80 unique teams.
