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, Arkansas Arkansas is ranked 10th in this week's poll, and 25 voters placed the Razorbacks 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 team whose rank matches the week number. So for Week 6, logo Fake Texas volunteered to take that spot.

NOTES FOR THIS WEEK

This week, the upper Wilner Diagonal was set by Dylan Sinn, who just kinda forgot that logo Kentucky existed. The lower Wilner Diagonal was set by David Jablonski, who stood pat with logo Utah at 16th. 143 votes were cast for teams outside the Top 25, totaling 442 points. 352 votes matched their the team's rank in the poll. The least-matched team was logo Maryland, with only two voters placing the Terrapins at exactly 20th. Moreover, 792 votes were within ± 1 rank, 1044 votes were within ± 2 ranks, 1204 were within ± 3 ranks, 1282 were within ± 4 ranks, 1335 were within ± 5 ranks, and 1407 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: Purdue Virginia Connecticut Alabama Houston Tennessee Texas Kansas Arizona Arkansas Baylor Duke Kentucky Indiana Gonzaga UCLA Mississippi State Illinois Auburn Maryland TCU Wisconsin Ohio State Virginia Tech Miami Memphis Charleston Iowa State Arizona State Marquette UNLV Xavier Iowa West Virginia St. Mary's Texas Tech San Diego State New Mexico Utah Creighton Michigan State Utah State Kansas State
