Ed Johnson, (click the names to see their ballot), of the Albuquerque Journal.

And

Eric Hansen, of the South Bend Tribune

After GT beat Georgie won, they moved GT to #17. One previously had us at 18, another at 19, according to one website, but according to the AP poll website they had us at 16 (linked above). I'm going with the other website, but draw what conclusions you will.

Less than honorable mention goes to Bob Assmussen who held GT at #16 after previously placing us at #20.

You can follow them all twitter if you want proof that even a low-grade alcoholic with significant neurological impairment can become an AP voter.

Hansen is the "reporter" who wrote all the articles about Manti Teo's fictional girlfriend, without verifying anything he wrote.

Last week, both ranked GT #16. Hansen had Georgie at #8. And so did Johnson.

After GT won, they moved GT to #17.

I think what that is referring to is that GT was ranked #16 and uga #8 last week. It's not talking about that specific voter. Cross-checks with other previous ranks.

So these guys have not necessarily dropped us...

Good job counselor.
 
Agree with cyp. I don't think these guys dropped us. They just have a low opinion of us.

That may be so, but the link I provided indicates that they did.

I found another site with more detailed information about the AP poll than the AP poll's website, which one would have thought would be reliable, and will update accordingly.

These voters are still ridiculous. Compare how Johnson treated our win to Ole Miss and Alabama.

Johnson moved Auburn from #16 to #14 for losing to Alabama.

In short, the title of the thread is still accurate, they caused our ranking to be lower, and the text of my post is now accurate as to exactly what they did.
 
Louisville at #13? (Hansen)

This had to be the product of the Tequila and dartboard method.
 
Ed Johnson dropped us from 16 to 17. Jumped by Oklahoma, who moved from 20 to 12 while idle for the week.

Eric Hansen also dropped us from 16 to 17. Jumped by Ole Miss (18 to 8, beat Ole Miss), Louisville (24 to 12, beat UK) and LSU (27 to 14, beat TAMU)

No, it doesn't, that is unless you have the capability to see that it is exactly same for all voters. Apparently they all ranked us at #16 last week. You are not that dumb, are you?

No one gave you credit for catching an error that I fixed, already.
Is that why you deleted the rest of my quote from your post, where I explained the correction I made? Or did you do it to make a smart ass comment that has no value, given that it was already addressed?

As I explained in the part of my post you didn't delete, another website showed something different and I adjusted it. You're faulting me for trusting the AP poll site. Which was a mistake. And I admitted that and fixed it. And did that in my last reply to you. Yet you keep bringing it up, without context.

Feel free to continue defending these guys and attacking me, internet big guy.
 
I doubt very seriously that all three of these voters had the EXACT same top 25 as last week's AP poll. The rankings being shown in the right column for last week are pretty obviously last week's top 25, given that they're the same for each voter.

nice straw man

my guess is there is exactly zero AP voters who "dropped GT in rankings after we beat Georgie"

No, that's why I corrected it. But that is what the website says. I even found an alternative source, and showed the discrepancy.

Where is the website that shows that they dropped us after the win?

All you've shown is a link to the AP poll, which doesn't even show where each specific voter voted us LAST WEEK. It only shows where they have us this week, as well as what the OVERALL AP top 25 was last week.

Edit: I see you've edited the OP. The thread title no longer applies though.

This is the correct link to look at where each voted from week to week:

Yes. A while back I edited the original post to reflect info from that website. You know, the part of the first post where I say another website shows something different?

Who knew that the AP site "previous ranking" on an individual voter's ballot page was not that individual voter's ranking? I made an error in assuming that it was, you pointed that out, I fixed the problem, and you've been an ass about it after I corrected it. Congrats.

And once again, you don't respond to the substance of what I wrote.

Are you upset that I responded to your correction and fixed things, depriving you of the opportunity to proudly point out that not only was someone wrong, but they failed to fix what was wrong?

Look, you get credit for finding an error I made. I fixed that immediately. That's what people do.

Yet you seem completely rattled by the fact that I fixed the error you pointed out, and keep arguing that I made an error--which I've never denied.

Why don't you make 10 more posts about the error that's been fixed?
