All 21 points in the Final AP Poll for 4-6 Texas Tech came from a single #5 vote that was probably intended for Texas A&M. Wouldn't have pushed Texas A&M ahead of #3 Clemson in the final standings, but would have closed the gap a bit.
The 21 points in the final AP Poll that Texas Tech accidentally finished the season with is identical to the 21 points that Pac-12 Champion and Fiesta Bowl participant Oregon had.
Here's the apparently erroneous ballot for inspection, missing Texas A&M but is the only ballot with Texas Tech (two schools that love being mistaken for one another): apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-…

Shockingly, this means that Alabama is both the #CFBPlayoff and AP National Champion this year.

New @IlliniMBB guard Adam Miller (@AceWolf44) was the N-G All-State Player of the Year after another standout season with Morgan Park (@EMPEHIAthletics) and just the fourth future #Illini to claim that honor since 2000. bit.ly/39aXbHx
Because the #APTop25 releases full ballots, we can reconstruct what the poll would look like if it only included the 51 voters who included Big Ten/Pac-12 teams on their ballots (11 did not).
Not a ton of change here:
• Up 3 Ranks: Ohio State, Oregon, Wisconsin
• +2: Michigan
• +1: Penn State
Small differences for other teams to compensate.

By contrast, here's what the #APTop25 would look like if instead only the 11 polls that excluded the conferences that haven't played yet were counted:
All #APTop25 Preseason Ballots:
The AP Poll had considerably less turnover than in past years, possibly because of the uncertainty in the season. From 2018 to 2019 there were 24 new voters in the poll out of 62, compared to 9 this year.

This is Tennessee's first time back in the #APTop25 since 2017, you can tell it's been a while because the AP website has neither a logo for the team nor a link to more news about them.
UGA at #4! Sorry, little rusty at this 😂
