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 Baylor is ranked 10th in this week's poll, and 16 voters placed the Bears 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 Texas $80M at 18 is not a typo.

NOTES FOR THIS WEEK

This week, the upper Wilner Diagonal was set by Seth Davis, who left off Logo Virginia. No other pollster had the Cavaliers any lower than 21st, and Davis' selection was 13 spots below the consensus in the poll. The lower Wilner Diagonal depends on how you order the teams that received one vote for last place. Either David Jablonski (Logo Drake) or David Jones (Logo North Texas) earn that spot this week. The lowest-ranked team to appear on all 61 ballots was 18th-ranked Logo Texas A&M Texas $80M. Conversely, the highest-ranked squad to be left off at least one ballot was Logo Virginia in 13th place. Logo Oral Roberts may have an argument that they belong in the 25th spot over Logo Missouri. If you asked each voter "Do you think Missouri or Oral Roberts is better?" 19 voters would pick the Golden Eagles, while only 16 would take the Tigers, and we aren't sure about the other 26 voters who didn't rank either team.

124 votes were cast for teams outside the Top 25, totaling 295 points. 408 votes matched their the team's rank in the poll. The most-matched team this week was Logo Houston, with 58 voters placing the Cougars in 1st place. On the other hand, the least-matched team was Logo Missouri, given that only 4 voters had the Tigers in their 24th spot. Moreover, 812 votes were within ± 1 rank, 1078 votes were within ± 2 ranks, 1241 were within ± 3 ranks, 1299 were within ± 4 ranks, 1342 were within ± 5 ranks, and 1401 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.

46 teams received at least one vote this week. 3 teams (Logo Drake, Logo North Texas, and Logo Vanderbilt) received their first votes of the season this week, bringing the total for the year to 85 different teams.

If I understand correctly, the Logo AP Poll does not conduct a vote after March Madness, so I believe that next week will be the final vote of the year. The Coaches' Poll traditionally releases the ballots for their final vote after the tournament, so I may do a post about those votes as well. If you have ideas for cool things I could do next year, please let me know and I will consider them. But my programming skills and time are limited, so while I may not be able to actually follow through on any of my goals, I really do appreciate any feedback you may have. If you want me to DM you the tables as soon as I make them (so usually the evening before the post goes up), please let me know which version you want and I will start sending you the tables until you ask me to stop.

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!
