Starting a thread here because, well, Santa Clara will start the basketball season in the “Others Receiving Votes” category in the AP Poll. It’s just a single vote but a rare honor for the Broncos in the last multiple decades.

AP is a coaches poll, right? So this was likely Herb?
Negative. AP (Associated Press) is a media poll. So the voters include pundits and personalities from ESPN, CBS, and a bunch of local media members (like the Merc’s Jon Wilner). You can see the individual ballots here using the drop down list. One point means that a voter put the Broncos at 25, but I can’t see which voter without clicking on each voter.
Here’s the Coaches Poll that you’re thinking of. No mention of the Broncos, and Herb isn’t a voter. Shantay Legans from Portland represents the WCC on the poll.
I’m not certain, but I don’t think coach-voters can pick their own teams and potentially are even blocked from picking teams in their conference.
