Shockwaves in College Football: Writer’s Preseason AP Poll Top 25 Defies All Expectations
Russo, who led the Associated Press’s college football rankings for 20 years, is now a voter for the first time.
“For the first time in my long career covering college football, I am part of the AP Top 25 voter panel. I was honored to be asked to participate by my former colleagues and happy to relieve my new colleague Matt Brown of voting duties after he diligently handled the task for eight years. There is no “I” in team, right?” he explained.
“It also was not an easy decision for me to become a voter. I liked being above the fray. My job was to administer the poll. Help pick voters. Make sure all the votes were cast accurately (and hopefully, on time) on Sunday mornings. And then write about the poll, highlighting the news and most fascinating and notable results.”
