After viewing these polls, I can say that those 18 voters are clueless….period!!!!

South Webster was #9 in D4 last week. They beat #9 in D3 Minford and DROPPED to 10th.

Fairfield Leesburg lost to an under .500 team and only goes back 2 spots to #9

Martin RPI + MaxPreps RPI both have South Webster significantly higher than Leesburg Fairfield in their computer based rankings. But the smarter than everyone AP voters see it differently.

That's pretty baffling

Last week there were 13 voters and this week 18?

I noticed that as well. Do some voters just wait to contribute until late in the season?

There was a week earlier in the season that had 11

I enjoy the AP poll. It is flawed but still fun.

Maxpreps RPI rankings has a long ways to go. Until it evolves into JoeEitel that takes into consideration the different division levels for win and losses, it is flawed.
