Thanks, Mr Ypsi!

Well I don't think Puget Sound well get much love this week...

[Mr. Ypsi]

Well I don't think Puget Sound well get much love this week...

I actually raised them slightly, considering the alternatives!  And Whitworth (barely) entered my ballot.  Very interesting poll so far (only 3 ballots in); the top few are very stable, then it goes crazy (though 20 teams are on all three ballots, just not necessarily anywhere near each other).

Mine could screw things up even more.  I did correct one mistake that I made last week, but again the ODAC is getting the love from me.

Just dropped a Poll in from a southern post - Memphis TN.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Fantastic!  We're goin' national, baby!

Now if we could get NY, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, the left coast... .  And recoup our veterans from Wisconsin, Illinois, New Jersey, and Connecticut(?).  C'mon, guys - I'll compile, but you gotta submit!

[And, David, if you're reading this, aren't you embarassed that someone else from Memphis is in, but you're not! ]

[Ralph Turner]

pbrooks, welcome aboard.

It is good to have another voter who sees South Region basketball.

Decided to join the action since I have nothing better to do on these cold winter night in upper N.Y. State(40 miles from Montreal) and I did see Mr. Yipsi asking for a N.Y. voter.  I get to see a great game this coming weekend on the 26th, Plattsburgh State against Brockport State. Winner will get a leg up in the SUNYAC conference. Both teams have fared rather well against #1 Rochester. Brockport went right down to the wire against the Yellowjackets on Jan. 11th losing 75-70 at UR. Down 73-70 with under a minute to go Brockport hit a game tying 3 only to have it waved off as a ref blew his whistle stopping play for an injury right before the Bport player released the ball. And Plattsburgh was the last team to beat Rochester in the first round of the NCAA's last March. Both Rochester and Plattsburgh St. have basically the same teams back from last year and with a little luck they may meet up again this year come tourney time.

Mine is in - tough week

[Knightstalker]

I doubt I will get one in this week but I will try to get one in next week.  Just not sure if I have time this year to do this but I will try.

[Mr. Ypsi]

By 9:30 this morning we were up to 7 voters (including FOUR that are new this year), but where are the veteran voters?  Let's get this up to a DOZEN!

[Mr. Ypsi]

We're now up to 9 ballots (vs. 8 last week), but I'm holding the polls open another hour or two in hopes of hearing from some of the usual suspects (you know who you are ).

[Ralph Turner]

I'm happy with mine.

I have 24 of 25 and I may add the team that I "left off" next week.

We had so many teams that lost that it was hard to give so teams the votes that i did.

Paraphrasing what Pat Coleman said on Hoopsville, you gotta give a 7th place vote to someone, whether you think that they deserve it or not!

Amen to that!  I had no problem with my top 5, but at the moment I think there are about 12-15 teams in the 10-15 range!  And my bottom 5 were veritably random from about a dozen choices.
