I give Wilner credit for trying to base his ballot on what the AP people ask for. But, it's a plus scheme with minus execution, as it seems too much for him to keep it all straight - not to mention bits of circular logic noted by BC.
Other Wilner rankings of note:
18. ASU
So ASU has a fairly bad loss vs Texas AM (despite a score that was close-ish until 4 minutes left - they were pushed around badly) and a difficult win vs Cal Poly San Luis Opispo. Wilner has them the highest of anyone in the country by 5 spots.
7. Texas AM
Apparently this high ranking is on the strength of their win over his over-rated ASU. Circular logic is back.
Though while Wilner has them a lot higher than their overall placement (#14) he is not as crazy as one guy who put AM at #2.
12. Utah
Not actually crazy with wins over Michigan and Utah State, but that's a lot of credit for teams we don't really know much about yet. Next highest voter has them at #14 then #17, actual #21.
22. Boise State.
Lost a close game to his #14 BYU, dropped from Wilner's #20 in the previous week. Similar issue to the MSU-Oregon, but less extreme.
