Earegood, an AP Top 25 poll voter, got on his moral high horse by refusing to vote for Alabama. Today’s AP Poll is out. — Connor Earegood (@ConnorEaregood) January 26, 2026Bediako, who turns 24 in March, played for Alabama during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons. But denying Alabama a vote when the team, by most objective measures, is a top-25 program is unnecessary, meaningless, and silly. The AP poll has little, if any, influence on the NCAA tournament selection process or seeding.
