Maybe, but then wouldn't you hope the harris poll representative collecting the votes might have enough college football sense to question if he heard the pollster correctly? An 0-4 team 21st? Idaho is not a football power by any stretch, so its not like saying USC or Texas, the rankign of Idaho should instantly raise eye brows. If its really a miscommunication the error is perhaps more egregious.

Voters cast ballots by telephone, fax or online; the voter who voted for Idaho reportedly did so by telephone. Did the voter intend to rank Iowa (2-2) but it was misheard over the phone?
"There are many times when someone says 'Idaho' and people think 'Iowa,' " Stephenson said yesterday by phone. "I don't think it's very often that people say 'Iowa' and people confuse it with 'Idaho,' certainly not on the East Coast."
