Breaking down the ballots to expose the homers, conference sectarianists, and good 'ol boy voters of the AP Poll

Exquisite use of committee's favorite subjective, do what we damn well please, tool https://t.co/PPAkDDFIc6

ACC protecting its 1 seed is example #9.23 billion why CFB needs nationalized refs.

Good data here on athletic spending, proving again why paying athletes across the board won't work: https://t.co/W7CAE2LNsN

. @jefflongUA Iowa outgained 433-250 by woeful Neb.; if Wake's outgaining of ND (tho ND won by 3TDs), counts against ND, bad for Iowa, no?

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

@APVotersWatch: Iowa needs +3TOs to beat 5-7 Neb by a TD. No one but @JimDelany can possibly think they're #4.

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

Long: OU at 3 b/c they were cruising b4 Mayfield's injury; so it's not even record now, but how player A affects game at point B? #Cavinball

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

#4 @HawkeyeFootball is -1.5 at 5-6 @HuskersUpdateFB. (n.b. "#4" not a typo).

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

@BrentAxeMedia ND fans are desperate to cling to Sanford for 1 more year likely to be disappointed; big jump in off. production & QB prep.

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

Best description we've heard, re: the CFP committee's rationale: It's not a conspiracy, it's just #Calvinball. Dif. week, dif. reasons.

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

@FloridaGators clearly aren't Top 10, but NR, @JoshatTheState? As the only voter to rank 7-4 USF, we'll assume you accidentally swapped them

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

@ScottNulph 110-32 apparently doesn't trump "what have you done for me lately."

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

Don't let conference partisans get away with "meh, they're looking past the cupcake" nonsense.

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

8-2 @badgerfball (3-1, conf.) has not beaten a +.500 team this year. Combined opponent record of those 8 wins: 24-59. @B1Gfootball

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

@CowboyFB beat @Longhorn_FB by 3, @KState_Football by 2, @WVUfootball in OT, and @CycloneFB by 4. The aristocrats!

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

The @Big12Conference has won a total of three bowl games against OOC ranked teams in three years. Not...er...great.

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

@MikeAndMike @CollegeGameDay @KirkHerbstreit @OU_Football they have played 1 top-40 team & lost to Texas. So, let's take a step back

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

Big12 sched. formula: pathetic OOC; predictable 0-, 1-loss teams--all ranked high--play each other only in Nov., ensuring someone gets in

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

To repeat: conf. champ games are shameless $$ grabs during final exam prep. Playing 12 real teams > playing FCS patsy + CCG.

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

@kylefredrickson @KellisRobinett from the guy who played CMU, UTSA, & C.Ark. We DON'T need conf. champ games, but play somebody, eh?

[AP Voters Watch @APVotersWatch]

@McMurphyESPN that way, when the hire fails, the AD can blame the search firm.
