Just for fun, I thought I'd post this comparison before the season begins. Might be good for a laugh later on.
It's my understanding that Pomeroy integrates subjective measures into his algorithm-based ratings early in the season. I imagine the portal was a big factor. After some number of games the subjective bits go away and it's all algorithm. Or something like that.
*The 26-30 teams for AP are the top "others receiving votes" in order.
