NOTE: This is the second poll where teams from the Big Ten, Pac-12, MAC, and Mountain West conferences were ineligible to receive votes since they are not playing at the time of the poll. This has affected many appearance and streak numbers. How this unusual interruption will be notated in the future will depend on when or if those conferences play games, and how the AP handles any polls if they do play. Until then, I'm going to treat them at face value (subject to sudden change), i.e., no asterisks at this point.
