D3 Top 25 Fan Poll

[Mr. Ypsi]

I didn't even move anyone out or in; my 19-25 remained exactly the same, but only three others remained in the same spot.

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

One voter hasn't responded yet. If they submit a ballot I'll update the poll.

I think I put Wesley at 6. Wheaton at 8-9.... Cant find my notes. Despite Wesley's terrible performance in Alliance, IMO it was not indicative of how good this year's Wesley team was. No one could have predicted that outcome, and with good reason. The way that game went almost seems like an anomaly to me out of all the possibilities of what could have happened in that game (but I AM a Wesley fan so I could be totally biased). Does Mount win everytime? Yeah maybe. But do they go up 70-0 like they were playing Wilmington? No I'd like to think not.

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

It's August which means it's time to get ready for FOOTBALL. I'll send a reminder to last year's voters at some point in the future.

If you're interested in being part of the Fan Poll this year just send me a PM. Ballots are due on Tuesdays during the season. If you need extra time or know you won't be able to get a ballot in that particular week please let me know as soon as you can. The earlier you submit a ballot the more time I'll have to check it and make sure you didn't make any errors or forget a team (and there's usually one every two or three weeks).

If you're in the south or east regions I strongly hope you'll join. There's usually a low turnout from those areas.

Preseason ballots are due Sunday August 30th which will give time for people to study Kickoff which comes out the 25th.

FC,

I am a go for this year. Again thanks for doing this as always.

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

As of right now I have 5 ballots (which doesn't include me). I'll send a message to those from last year I haven't heard from. Anyone else is free to join us as well. We can always use some more people especially from the south and east.

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

I'm up to 7 ballots plus 1 voter abstaining from the preseason. Today is your last chance to get your ballots in as I'll be posting the poll tonight.

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

I received 7 ballot, have an 8th person who abstained, and a 9th person who said they were participating but haven't heard back from in a while. The top 25 teams from the final poll last year are the same 25 teams to start the year.

I'm out, sorry. I need to focus on my phoney baloney job, since we're upgrading our alumni and online giving site, and developing new reports and metrics. So duty calls, alas.

Interesting results considering in my West Fan Poll I had three people rank Linfield over UWW to start the season (and the votes didn't all come from Linfield fans). Here nobody shared that sentiment.

I put Linfield at 2. To me, Whitewater has to lose its way out of the #1 spot. They have proven they can reload all too easily, except for the anomaly that was the 2012 season.
