According to a Fox News report, the Associated Press Top 25 poll gives the SEC "special treatment," ranking Florida and South Carolina even though each team has already taken three losses this season.
The Fox News headline describes the results as "a new, ridiculous low" for poll voters and refers to this week's results. The word choice is the outlet's own, and the summary available for this story does not address it or explain it further.
The summary does not say which voters cast the rankings, what criteria they applied, or why the two teams were placed where they were. It also does not state the full records of Florida or South Carolina beyond the three losses each that the report mentions.
The summary includes no response from the Associated Press, the SEC, or either school. It gives no information about when the poll was released beyond the reference to this week's results, as reported by Fox News. Fox News does not describe any disagreement among voters, so none is reported here.
Fox News is the only outlet whose account of the poll is available for this story, so the details above reflect that single report alone. They have not been compared with other coverage or with the poll itself.
