I think they release everyone's voting record for the all 12, 13, or however many, weeks, at the end of the season.
As for how they place a one-loss Bama ahead of Auburn, Gene Stallings explained the strategy he used to use and it made sense - in his estimation, if the teams played today, on a neutral field, which one did he think would win. In that case, your #1 is who you think would beat everyone on the list. Your #2 would beat everyone but #1, the #3 everyone but #1 & #2, and so forth.
Of course, in truth, I think 90% of the coaches' poll votes are filed by grad assistants. Always liked the AP better, personally.
