Posters' Poll

See, I disagree. I don't think you can say much about a 20-point win vs. a 30-point win. And if they go deep into the bench, or play a lot of JV players, it may not mean much at all.

No, it might not, but it does mean more than beating scrubs by 3 or 4 every night.  We do the best we can at this point in the season.  I really only go there as a last resort; I put a lot more weight in wins over good teams.

And after tonight, what the heck are we gonna do??

And after tonight, what the heck are we gonna do??   

Well, by definition, there are always 25 on top.  Good luck to us all deciding who they are!

Been stuck on 6 ballots for a long time now - do you procrastinators have to make me nervous EVERY week?!

One less procrastinator now

Mines in, hopefully error free.  I had a few big movers this week.

But it's just us procrastinators doing what we do best. We can't make it easy on you
Mine is in

[magicman]

Just sent mine in. Now off to see the #1 team in the country. Now that my Middlebury Panthers have won the Survivor Pool, I don't have the conundrum of who to root for tonight as my Panthers play my hometown Plattsburgh State Cardinals. Go Cardinals, pull off the upset!! It won't happen and I hope they can give them a competitive game but it's a team of freshmen and sophmores playing a veteran Middlebury squad.

[Mr. Ypsi]

We now stand at 11, with about two hours to go.  Both previous weeks we ended with 12 (and have had 13 different people vote so far) - can we set a season high?

(As always, I will hold off if someone notifies me they could get a ballot in if given a couple extra hours.  Otherwise I will begin typing around 7 EST.)

Other head scratchers to me were:

Va Wes, MIT, Emory and CMS left off one ballot
CMS at #2
UWSP at #3
Grinnell at #6

[Ralph Turner]

I need some help with Lake Forest.

Are they as good as the Lawrence teams of the last decade?
