D3 Top 25 Fan Poll

[K-Mack]

Keith, you gotta post more often - I enjoy the discussions.

Been a while since I posted here and just saw this ... I don't think I can do the boards as often as I now save most of my thoughts for the podcast, or the Triple Take, or ATN or one of the many other "official" things I'm doing for the site.

I always enjoy your posts as well. And not going to re-start a discussion from December, I just stopped in to glance at your poll, and the "new" button took me way way back.

[K-Mack]

The fan poll was quite similar to the D3F poll... the only teams in just one or the other were UW-Oshkosh (T17) was 31st in the D3F poll, Centre (T25) was 26th in the D3F poll, and Widener (25) who was 32nd in the fan poll. The top 12 had the same teams with just a couple flip flops 7/8 and 9/10.

Our preseason data package (spreadsheet) had good info on what UW-P and Widener had coming back. That was a while back, but it probably what convinced me to go Platteville instead of Oshkosh.

I know it'll seem like old news by Thursday, but I'll be aiming to include my rankings in ATNs this year, with reasoning. And my rule for self is to always have a reason ... which is why it sometimes takes me forever to do my ballot.

Last chance to get ballots in for this week. I'll be getting it posted in about an hour so if you need a bit of time send me a PM and I'll wait. I've received 6 ballots so far.

How the hell the did st. Thomas jump over linfield?

[smedindy]

Because the voters said so, I guess, or something or other.

[hazzben]

Did someone forget to rank Linfield, or do they really think they aren't a top 25 team  I'm guessing it's the former, or better yet, I'm hoping its the former...

[02 Warhawk]

wasn't me, I had them 5th

[hazzben]

Is there a way to view your 'sent' personal messages that I'm not seeing?

[smedindy]

You have to be sure to check 'save to my outbox' or something to that effect.

[hazzben]

^^ thanks

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

You have until this evening to get those ballots in for this week. Only 6 received so far.
