With UCLA moving up 1 spot to #4, I was confused at first because I could've sworn I saw them at #8 during the game yesterday. Then I remembered that once the CFP rankings come out, that's what TV broadcasts use instead. So the AP poll's basically useless as of week 10 each year. What's shown on TV is what matters.

It depends on the broadcast.

Really? Which networks continue to display the AP poll? Because ESPN/ABC, Fox/BTN, CBS, and NBC/Peacock display the CFP rankings.

Not that I would trust anything Google's AI says (it's literally the worst of all AIs), you could be right. I thought I was watching a game yesterday that was showing rankings different than the CFP, but I am likely wrong.

Illini2010-11
Does it matter that Illinois receive 0 AP votes? Not in the slightest. The only rankings that matter at this point are CFP rankings. I expect the Illini will be somewhere closer to the Coaches poll.

Winning cures everything. Win on Friday night, and every poll will give Illinois a small number before their name. AP votes will always have a bias, and they tend to bias more strongly in favor of teams that were ranked in the preseason. There is likely a SEC bias, but it is easy to forget that Illinois was given strong AP numbers much of last season, even when advanced metrics suggested otherwise.
