The Distribution of Votes in the AP Poll (Week 15, 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 Tennessee is ranked 10th in this week's poll, and 15 voters placed the Volunteers 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 The Other Miami at 15 is not a typo.


NOTES FOR THIS WEEK

This week, the upper Wilner Diagonal was set by Rick Bozich, who left Logo Kansas State unranked, the only voter to exclude the Wildcats. That selection was 14 places below their consensus rank. The lower Wilner Diagonal was set by David Jones, who put the Logo Pittsburgh Panthers all the way up at 12th, a whole 17 spots above their actual rank in the poll. The lowest-ranked team to appear on all 62 ballots was 17th-ranked Logo St. Mary's. Conversely, the highest-ranked squad to be left off at least one ballot was Logo Kansas State in 12th place.

134 votes were cast for teams outside the Top 25, totaling 474 points. 337 votes matched their the team's rank in the poll. The most-matched team this week was Logo Alabama, with 38 voters placing the Crimson Tide in 1st place. On the other hand, the least-matched team was Logo Indiana, given that only 3 voters had the Hoosiers in their 13th spot. Moreover, 778 votes were within ± 1 rank, 1039 votes were within ± 2 ranks, 1202 were within ± 3 ranks, 1291 were within ± 4 ranks, 1357 were within ± 5 ranks, and 1414 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.

39 teams received at least one vote this week. 1 team (Logo Oklahoma State) received their first votes of the season this week, bringing the total for the year to 81 different teams.

SPECIAL THANKS

I would like to thank u/bakonydraco for providing the data set that makes this post possible. If you like this table, then you will also like his weekly voter-by-voter ballot breakdown. That post is also great for answering your "Who ranked [team] at [place]?" questions. Check out this week's version here!
