And they are forced to put in from 1-25 in order. You can likely pick the top 10, then it is a bit random on there.

You are likely influenced by last week's poll (both what the pollster said, and what the published poll says).

There is a hurdle to get on the poll, and generally you stay on it longer once you are on as well, unless you have a terrible week.
