Week 19

This is a series I've been doing on /r/CollegeBasketball for 3 years, and now /r/CFB for 7. The post attempts to visualize consistency between voters in the AP Poll 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.

Mike Rodak was the most consistent voter this week. Kelly Hines is still in 1st on the season, with Jay Tust moving ahead of Sheldon Mickles, Nick Suss in 4th, and John Werner moving into 5th.

Jesse Newell was the biggest outlier again this week. Jesse Newell, David Jablonski, and Seth Davis are still the top 3 on the season, with James Crepea moving ahead of Jon Wilner into 4th.

  • Screw you Seth Davis.

    I think this is the first time this season I disliked Seth Davis, which is a new record.

    people have no idea what to make of houston this year

    I don’t really know why though? We’re 29-5 and 4 of our 5 losses were to tournament teams. The other one was to SMU who has a good shot at winning the NIT.

    I guess the injuries gives us less reliable outside shooting but I don’t know. The AAC tournament was a really good look at to how we’ve been most of the year.

    4 of your 5 losses were to tournament teams, yes, but you also only played 6 games against tournament teams (including osu and not including bryant). it's a plus that houston has only lost by slim margins to tournament caliber teams, but not having many victories against tournament teams is the main mark against them. 1-4 in quad 1 and 10-1 in quad 2 is not a very strong record on paper, nor is it a very informative one, so it's hard for measure

  • KU's beat writer clearly subscribes to the tough love method, as he has them ranked lowest out of every other voter.
