This is a series I've now been doing for 12 years. The post attempts to visualize all AP Poll ballots in a single image. Additionally it sorts each AP voter by similarity to the group. Notably, this is not a measure of how "good" a voter is, just how consistent they are with the group. Especially preseason, having a diversity of opinions and ranking styles is advantageous to having a true consensus poll. Polls tend to coalesce towards each other as the season goes on.

Sean Reider was out this week, so we had 68 voters this week.

The most consistent voters this week were Lia Assimakopoulos and Mike Jacques. Lia Assimakopoulos is in first on the season. Julian Mininsohn, Joe Arruda, Jamal St. Cyr, and Jerry Humphrey were behind them in the top 5.

Bob Asmussen was the biggest outlier this week. Jon Wilner is the biggest outlier on the season, followed by Ralph Russo, Dylan Sinn, Koki Riley, and Bob Asmussen.
