August 22: Just a friendly reminder that the historical weekly poll data is still available here, you just have to view it on a team-by-team basis (example) through the Team Index. I am looking into some functionality that might allow easier access to other teams ranked in a given weekly poll without reproducing the entire poll/format.
August 21: Here are the milestones for the AP preseason poll:
MILESTONES

- Oklahoma makes first appearance in the Top 10 since the 9/27/2009 poll (11 weeks).
- Arkansas makes first appearance in the Top 25 since the 12/2/2007 poll (34 weeks).
- Florida State makes first appearance in the Top 25 since the 9/20/2009 poll (12 weeks).

August 12: Maybe this is why the AP wanted the weekly football polls removed from the site...
"We'll also give you unprecedented access to the AP Top 25 poll, including tools to build and share your own polls, historical polls dating back to 1936..." -- APTop25.com
So, with that staring me in the face, what do you think I should do? Poll
UPDATE Well, it launched, but with only partial historical polls (so far) and no aggregate data. So based on that and your feedback, I'll continue to keep the Football section current for now.
August 11: 50 days later, and still no response from the AP. At this point, I'm not sure if I'll hear anything from them before the season, or at all.
August 6: AP Voting Guidelines
July 4: New name, same ownership, and most of the old data. To comply with the AP, I have removed the weekly football polls. I figured some data was better than no data while I wait for them to reply. But if that doesn't meet your needs and/or I can't afford what they eventually say I need to pay to license it from them, then I may have to shut it down for good.
June 29: Unfortunately, I have not received a reply yet to my responses/inquiries, and the person that sent the initial email has left the company. So it may be a while before any progress is made.
June 22: My site has been asked by the Associated Press to stop using their content unless I pay to license it from them. I will find out how much that costs and then decide if I can afford to keep this going under another name with the meager amount earned from ads, or some other type of revenue.
Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused any of you -- fans, media, collaborators -- and a HUGE thanks for your support.
