MUNCIE, Ind. — The preseason AP poll came out Wednesday morning, and Ball State, interestingly enough, received votes. While Ball State has high expectations this season, it was interesting that IU did not receive a single vote.

As it turns out, that appears to have been due to a mistake by one of the voters.

Seth Davis, a college basketball reporter for CBS Sports and The Fieldhouse, fessed up to the error Wednesday evening on Twitter. According to CollegePollTracker.com, Davis was the only one to vote Ball State into the Top 25, ranking the Cardinals 22nd, which is odd considering he had Purdue at No. 24. None of the other 64 voters ranked Ball State.

"Although I suspect @MrMattCraig hacked my ballot this was a typo. My No. 22 team is Baylor, not Ball State," he tweeted.
