College Football’s AP Poll: Should Voter Rights Be Revoked?
The early weeks of college football are once again putting the AP poll under a microscope, with a controversial ballot sparking debate over voter accountability and the disconnect between initial rankings and on-field performance. At the same time, financial pressures are reshaping both college and pro football, from coaching buyouts to roster strain created by quarterback contracts in the NFL.
