Overall my lists are more diverse, with many more non-major-conference players getting recognition; the first three teams in the AP tend to be limited to players from major conferences and top 25 teams. Were I to make this limitation my teams would be closer to matching the AP's, but I felt it wasn't a proper thing to include in the algorithm.
