  Some background: Michigan is ranked 8, and there are 5 total teams with first-place votes.

  In the previous 11 years, the lowest ranked team to receive a first-place vote

  3, 2, 1, 3, 7-Kansas, 5-Boise, 1, 2, 2, 1

  The three unanimous picks: Alabama (2009), Texas (2005), Ohio State (2002)

  Five teams represent the most teams with a first-place vote, and #8 represents the lowest team to get a vote in the last 10 years.

  Are you looking at end of year numbers? Texas and Ohio State were not even #1 preseason in those years. Ohio State was preseason AP #13 the year they won.

  goddamnit. I clicked “preseason” but it resets to final rankings when you change the year. What a nice waste of time by me.

  But the point is even stronger then.

  In 2006, the top 6 teams all got a vote. In 2008 and 2011, the top 5 did. In 2010 the 5th and 7th teams did. And in 2005, #12 Louisville got a first-place vote.

  This isn’t really a big deal or that much of a limb.
