	AP Opts Out Of Formula For BCS (washingtonpost.com)
		The omission of the AP poll from the BCS formula could cause the sport's national champion to be determined in an entirely different way beginning next season.
		Without the AP poll in its formula for determining which two teams play in its championship game, the BCS would have to rely on the two other components: the controversial coaches' poll, in which voting is discreet, and the average of six computer rankings.
		In the final AP poll, some voters moved Texas ahead of California, despite the fact the Bears beat Southern Mississippi, 26-16, during the final weekend of the regular season, while the Longhorns didn't play.

	KUsports.com - : Woodling: Maybe it's time to do away with AP poll (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Polls are released Mondays or Tuesdays because those are the traditionally slow news days, and the polls fills air space on radio and TV and columns in newspapers.
		The AP's decision was a knee-jerk reaction to the growing number of newspapers refusing to participate in the balloting -- although still publishing the results -- because they believe the BCS, by re-manufacturing the manufactured news, had heightened public awareness of the media sticking their noses where they don't belong.
		The AP is fortunate because the BCS could have said, in effect, that the media rankings were published information and therefore available to anyone and everyone and would use them anyway.

		Each poll accounted for one-third of a team’s BCS grade and total points were factored in, not just ranking, which was the case before.

	AP tells BCS to stop using its poll North County Times - North San Diego and Southwest Riverside County columnists
		The BCS has used the AP poll of 65 writers and broadcasters as a component in its rankings since the system was implemented by officials from the Big East, Big 12, Big Ten, Atlantic Coast Conference, Pac-10, Southeastern Conference and Notre Dame in 1998.
		In its letter, the AP said some of its poll voters had indicated they might no longer participate because of concerns over having their reporters be so closely involved in the process of determining which teams play where.
		"By stating that the AP poll is one of the three components used by BCS to establish its rankings, BCS conveys the impression that AP condones or otherwise participates in the BCS system," the letter said.

	WorldNetDaily: AP abortion poll misleads respondents
		Wade abortion decision, but the poll question itself was misleading, telling respondents Roe legalized abortion only in the first three months of pregnancy – rather than throughout the entire nine months.
		According to the poll, conducted Nov. 19-21 by Ipsos-Public Affairs, 59 percent of Americans want President Bush to nominate Supreme Court justices who would uphold Roe v.
		The poll was apparently a follow-up on another AP-Ipsos survey conducted at the beginning of November, which posed the same question with the same misleading summary of Roe v.

		In fact, there is almost no evidence that this second poll actually exists, other than a brief mention toward the end of a general article by AP reporter Will Lester on the history of polling controversies.
		That story, titled "Poll answers don't always reflect truth," states that AP/Ipsos conducted a new poll with amended wording, but concludes by asserting that the changed wording didn't significantly alter the results of the survey and that the new poll resulted in 57 percent favoring retention of the Roe decision.
		For some unknown reason, Ipsos Public Affairs does not list any details of the Dec. 3-5 correction poll – or even acknowledge its existence – on its website where all other AP polls are shown, even on the paid side of its site to which the news media have access.

		BCS coordinator Kevin Weiberg, the Big 12 commissioner, said the release of polls before the season was ``a weakness'' of the media and coaches polls.
