The coach's poll in Naismith provides an interesting opportunity to compare how close a human ranking would be to the RPI and top 25 poll.

The differences are below.

I'm not really sure why the difference between the poll and RPI matters. RPI is RPI. Maybe it's just for interest's sake.

Very interesting comparison between the polls, though.
