As you can see, many of us agree on most of the top teams. The top 5 teams contained exactly the same teams in all but one ballot, which had 4 of the 5. Near the bottom, however, some tend to disagree. USF lies one spot ahead of the AP's ranking, at #21, while West Virginia is in the same exact place, resting at #19.
