FB: Region 3 fan poll

[jaybird44]

I did the PBP of WashU football for the 1994 & 1995 seasons, then left for a full-time news/sports broadcasting gig at a local radio station that lasted 14 years.  When I was laid off there in early 2009 due to faltering revenue, I was fortunate to be able to return to WashU later that year to begin our football and basketball webcasts.  Been there ever since, and very happy about it!

Great discussion about the Fan Poll.  That helps us to hear the criticism of the voting and to re-assess.

Great discussion, as I said.  I watched the teams carefully and made minor adjustments to the bottom of my ballot.  Thanks to all.

Okay.   

[Scots13]

Whoa. Methodist with a vote. I'd love to see narch's face when he sees this!

Not that it really matters, but I think LaCollege has 21 pts, instead of 22.
It's 1:30 here..if my math is wrong I apologize to you for saying it was, then I apologize to my Alma Mater for having a graduate that can't math anymore.

[jknezek]

Interesting. Other than the TMC at 4, it looks like we're all pretty much in line with each other. Obviously some variation, but 8 of 10 teams receiving votes from all of us and Wash U getting votes from 4 of 5 is a pretty tight grouping.

[Bob.Gregg]

Thomas More getting a "4"? Okay.

Anyway, the Saints do NOT need Waynesburg to win out.

For TMC to get the PAC AQ, the Saints need to win out and have EITHER Geneva OR Waynesburg beat W&J.

There is nothing but chaos below Murvul at #6!

[Scots13]

There is nothing but chaos below Murvul at #6!

3,4, and 5---> threeway slap fight for scraps at the top

Maryville---> sitting pretty in the middle.

7,8,8, and 10---> 4 way brawl trying to stay favorable in voter's eyes

Gotta say, I like this week's poll. Makes the next two weeks interesting.

Whoa. Methodist with a vote. I'd love to see narch's face when he sees this!

Methodist more likely dropped out because they struggled with a lightly regarded Greensboro team while HSC murdered a common opponent. I wasn't the Methodist vote, so I can't say that for sure, but it makes sense to me.

[jknezek]

Well, I guess the top 10 is even a consensus within the RR committee. Order is pretty darn close as well.
