The campaign

Are you smarter than an AP voter?

The best fans know college football better than a random AP voter. We grade both by the games to prove it.

Every AP Top 25 voter's ballot is public. We grade all 70 by the games each week: each game is a call, the team ranked higher should win, and the score is wins above a ballot that ranks every favorite. We read every ballot as a claim about who is better right now: rank A over B, and A should win when they meet. Post your Top 25 and you get the same grade, on the same games, next to theirs. Beat the middle voter and your name goes here.

The bar: the middle AP voter+6.1Chris Carter, #35 of 68, 81-25 over 6 weeks
The best AP voter+10.4Koki Riley, 87-23
The published poll+7.482-24, would rank #16

vs the middle voter = your wins above favorites minus the median AP voter's, over the weeks you were graded. One week counts; it also says one week. Fans come from Top 25s posted on X and on 1QA; sign in with X and yours is already here.
