Harris Interactive Poll
The Harris Poll is the newest poll as it was created in 2005 to replace the AP Poll in the BCS formula and consists of former players, coaches, administrators, and current and former media who submit votes for the top 25 teams each week. The panel has been designed to be a statistically valid representation of all 11 Division I FBS Conferences and independent institutions. The poll operates identically to the Coaches Poll, except with 114 members, the point values of the highest ranked teams are higher than the Coaches Poll. The maximum points a single team can earn is 2850 points. The poll ends at the conclusion of the regular season, and does not produce another poll after the bowl games.

Famous quotes containing the words harris and/or poll:
“The difference between faith and superstition is that the first uses reason to go as far as it can, and then makes the jump; the second shuns reason entirely—which is why superstition is not the ally, but the enemy, of true religion.”
—Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)
“If Rosa Parks had taken a poll before she sat down in that bus in Montgomery, she’d still be standing.”
—Mary Frances Berry (b. 1938)
