You can see how Seth Emerson voted here.
Can't argue with the top 5. I trust the AP poll more, probably. For one, it is transparent. For two, well see one.

Why does anyone talk about the AP poll anymore? Since it's not a part of the BCS formula, it doesn't seem to be relevant any longer....
Two reasons: Theoretically, they could name a different National Champion than the BCS crowns, although that is becoming less and less likely. Also, IF we are going to have pre-season polls, having one that all voters' polls are made publicly available is preferable to one that holds voters' ballots in secret.
Of course, this doesn't fix the problems associated with selection bias and prior placement bias.
