A Closer Look at Some AP Ballots

It's a different year. Although I don't agree with them, that is their opinion and their vote counts, ours doesn't.

I remember that at some point late last year, Fowler has Boise State somewhere ridiculously high (or low?) and sites like TBL and Deadspin just ate him up for it.

It's just stupid to think that GT can lose Dwyer, Thomas, Morgan, and Burnett (from a team that got desroyed in the Orange Bowl), and be better than the team who desroyed them (and returns many more of their core players from the OB team). Nesbitt is going to have to be able to throw the ball MUCH better this year if GT is going to be a top 10 team.

Craig James is a southern guy so i wouldn't expect him to rank Iowa over GT

Man, I wonder what is that kool aid of the two guys who gave Iowa votes at #3. I want some of that!
Looking at Hlas' ballot, I wonder if he was just screwing around at 24 and 25.

What are you talking about I got Iowa #1. Well my heart does at least.

I can't understand why anyone would put GT ahead of Iowa. Given the Orange Bowl outcome, the respective rosters (i.e. returning players for each team), and the fact that many voters don't even have GT ranked. Overall GT's highest rank is 7; Iowa's is 3. GT's lowest ranking is unranked; Iowa's is 15. Iowa got 60 votes (out of a possible 60 ) while GT only got 52 votes.

It was low. He had BSU at #7 as late as Week 12 (of the poll), when 56 of the other 59 voters thought they should be higher. You can check last year's polls and voter analysis on the site that Jon linked to in the article.

But you don't have a vote.
Anyone else notice that the Register doesn't have a writer listed, while the Gazette does?Sipple has Nebraska at 6, Iowa at 12.

The Texas Tech fiasco told us a lot about James.
But I'm more perplexed at how voters continue to rank Penn St ahead of us. I respect JoPa as much as the next guy, but enough already.

The Register sucks. Gannet owns both the ICPC, DMR, and many others outside Iowa.

I went ahead and ran a search, but it seems to coming up empty. Suggestions?

I forgot about that drama. Is Amanda still at Tech since helicopter dad managed to get Leach fired?

If you run a side by side comparison, there is only one writer who has Penn State higher, and it's only by two spots.

In the Pollstalker section on the side of the page, enter in College Football '09 for the sport. Then select AP poll CFB '09 for the poll (don't pick the AP/BCS poll). Then you can select any of the 60 voters' ballots for any week during the season.
