Both polls have Cornell getting a first-place vote yet sitting at eighth and sixth, respectively. Likely, that's because Cornell is No. 1 in the Pairwise Rankings and someone is voting straight down the Pairwise. That's really not a bad idea, since those are the only rankings that count for anything.
