AP Ballot breakdown for week 10 (AP Poll 11)

© Copyright 2006, Paul Kislanko

In the Ballot comparison the teams are ordered by the best rank for which a majority of voters voted the team at least that high (see the ballot summary below) and the ballots are ordered left-to-right by how close the ballot was to the majority's consensus.

Nothing exciting this week - all of the changes are easily explainable by the teams' most recent results. In a rare display of common sense, all 65 voters ranked LSU higher than Tennessee.

• 18 teams were listed in every voter's top 25 (down one from last week)
• 32 teams were listed on at least one top 25 (down 5 - there were lots of losses by teams barely in the top 25)
• 15 teams were listed on at least one top 10 (unchanged - the top 10 teams who lost stayed in the top 10)
• 25 teams were listed on a majority of ballots (up 1)
