<<I do not believe there is a great deal of volatility inthe voters ballots. Certainly not enough to move teams around in the poll.>>

This comment confused me, but whatever.

Someone else already provided the link of the voters. One of the voters even said that not having us in was an oversight on his part, so that could be 5+ points.

What I mean is that I don't think individual voters make alot of changes week-to-week unless a loss was involved. If we were 20 on a voters ballot, and we won, as did the other teams near us, then i would expect that we'd still be #20.

Artist, your post suggested that a few voters still had us unranked, and if they simply ranked us this week in the top 20, that could be enough to rise a spot or 2. Well, when I looked at the individual voters, I didn't see anyone who didn't already have us ranked.

Even if there is this individual voter volatility, I'd expect that much of it would be offsetting and not drive a change in the overall poll results.
