Beautiful Soup ESPN Scraping Outdated #8

Open cooperjaXC opened 11 months ago

cooperjaXC commented 11 months ago

Issue

ESPN's AP Top 25 website code routinely changes, breaking this repo's code each time. Thus, the master branch as of this posting is broken. And, it will likely return to being broken even if this version of the code is continued to be used.

Solution

Move to a more stable API-based method of gleaning the Top 25 + "others receiving votes" like is suggested in #7.

Commit 6e09e0c represents a working version moving away from BeautifulSoup HTML parsing. See #7
