Hover your mouse over a poll's link to get a better description. To get the average, the highest and lowest rankings are thrown out. 08/20/11: Down to 20 polls, removed all individual papers now that the A.P. is out. If a team isn't ranked in a poll, a ranking of 26 is used to get the average. 08/20/11: Added A.P. = Associated Press. The sum is of all the polls and is only used for tiebreakers.
