Posters' Poll

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

My ballot is in.  I sure hope things shake out a little better over the next few weeks.

I wrote that F&M is not a Top 25 team unless it's a real down year for D3.  I still think they're outside the Top 25, but I'm starting to waver on the idea that it's not a down year for the division.  The bottom of the ballot is ugly.

We're going to see some crazy results come tournament time.

I'm going to see if I can work out a top 25 tonight... I was going to post a response to Dave McHugh's last week, but I realized it wasn't very fair if I hadn't bothered to try to pick myself!

Please. The discussion that an adequately subscribed poll helps us fans work out the inconsistencies that we imagine in the Polls in general.

Most guys dream of a 3-way. You set the bar high wanting a 7-way!     

Everything's bigger in Texas.  Even fantasies

LOL!  Glad to bring some levity to the board!

I'm not gonna be rude enough to ask Ralph the gender and species composition of his '7-way' fantasies!

Been stuck on 6 ballots for WAY too long.  Still ahead of last week, but make Mr. Y happy - somebody send me another ballot!

[smedindy]

I'll send mine again if that will help!

I thought you post it Tuesday evening. Mine will be done tomorrow afternoon
Sorry.

Thank you for being culturally sensitive!  LOL!

Will one of the Florida ballots from 2000 work? Where did this first place vote for Franciscan come from? It confused me
I guess I should work on putting mine together

[Greek Tragedy]

1-6 pretty easy
6-12 confused
13-19 very hard
20-25 completely lost

I'd say this is pretty accurate for me, although only the first four spots were really easy.  I've got St. Thomas, Rochester, North Central, and Whitworth.  I've got no confidence in anyone else right now.

Some years I would really prefer to just do a top 15.  This year, 10 would be plenty.

[Mr. Ypsi]

We're now up to ten ballots - any more in the pipeline?

Ralph and I thought we had recruited a new voter from the ODAC (something I've tried just about every year), but no word yet from algernon.

Since the current ten includes all nine from last week (plus John Gleich), I'll start compiling in an hour or so unless I hear from anyone who will vote but needs more time.

I think Ypsi fell asleep working on the poll.
