Abstract: We evaluate whether biases found in the 2007 Associated Press poll have persisted. Data from the 2018 and 2019 pre-COVID Football Bowl Subdivision seasons show that geographic and recency biases have diminished. However, AP pollsters during 2018–19 appear to have favoured even more disproportionately Notre Dame and the teams from the five so-called Power-5 conferences than they did in 2007.
