Welcome to the world of college football, where the quest for a coveted national championship collides with the complexities of committee decision-making.
Two changes for 2024-2025. Computerized Algorithms to determine 1-12. Lotteries to determine where 1-4 play and 5-12 play. Lotteries are 8 rounds with numbers inside balls from 1-4 or 5-12. ADs choose 1 ball each round. ADs rotate their pick position each round never picking the same position twice. The eight balls for each AD are averaged. The Average becomes their position from 5-12. The same applies to 1-4. No personal preference exists. No deceit exists. Everything is determined by chance and equality.
Not that it matters for the purpose of your article, but if Duke is on that list of most popular teams, then surely the voters are considering all college sports, not just football?

Probably true, but I trust YouGov polls more than most sports blogs.
