Posters' Poll

[smedindy]

I'm in. My bottom 5 was a struggle...

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

The team schedules and conference rankings pages are struggling right now, so it will probably take me a little longer, although I think I'm set on my teams.  I just need to worry about order.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Mine's finally in.  You Dutch fans will be glad to know that Hope has finally made the cut in my book.

The last spot was a tough one between Guilford and Utica.  I went with Guilford simply on strength of schedule.  I feel they deserve it more at this point, although I pity any school that underestimates Utica in the tournament.

Also close but just missing: Rochester, Rhode Island College, Trinity (CT) and Keene State.

in like Flint.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Seven ballots in.  Hoping to hear from PS, sac, and fdf soon!

[Mr. Ypsi]

The real poll is now out and it is past the 8 pm deadline.  But I hate to release a poll with only 7 voters (feels like the coaches, or something!!)

I'll post in one hour whether I hear from the rest or not - c'mon guys!

[John Gleich]

I'm getting mine finished up as we... read!  Sorry, 7:00 (or 8:00 for that matter) on Mondays are tough for me.

I'll have it to you asap

[Mr. Ypsi]

Well, we got an 8th ballot - here's hoping for at least 10 next week!

Instead of the range (which can be misleading with outlyers), I'll list the actual votes in parens.

I understand that NYU lost two away games, a two-point loss by a now-ranked Chicago and a one-point overtime loss to ranked Washington U...but only dropping ONE spot?  Come on....they did drop 33 votes, I guess.

[Mr. Ypsi]

I'll have it to you asap

Thanks, Point!  +1

[Mr. Ypsi]

I have corrected the revised ballot (the one including PS) - he did NOT send Ramapo all the way from tied for 32nd to 24th!  That should have been RIC (as on the fuller ballot earlier).

[smedindy]

I like having the ballots. It makes me feel good that I'm not a total weirdo, just a partial weirdo.
