FB: Region 4 fan poll

[Mr. Ypsi]

The ODAC always has some good teams knocking heads.

Thanks.  E&H @ Catholic is the winner.

Not sure it is 'good teams knocking heads', but 4-3 (losing to good teams) at 4-2 (beating who exactly?) does seem a pretty good 'toss-up'!

Hopefully B.W. will get a little love this week in the poll.

Hopefully B.W. will get a little love this week in the poll.

They should get more than last week... with Carthage, Ohio Northern, and Heidelberg (as well as Muskingum even though no one had them in the top 10) losing there's probably only 11-12 teams that people will be deciding between

Spoiler alert...B-W is IN my top 10 this week.

It'll be interesting to see the poll when Wes posts it.

It'll be REALLY interesting to see the fallout from the North Central / Illinois Wesleyan game. I think Ill. Wesleyan has proven itself this season. So I bet they stay close to NC and then I think they won't fall much if they lose.

Not as wild and wooly as it was just a couple of weeks ago.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Wes, you need to re-check the numbers, as I had Trine 8th and Bald Wally 10th - neither vote is listed.  (Perhaps you flip-flopped those two votes?)

I agree; if NCC wins, what happens in the NCC-IWU-Wheaton triangle?
And, the logical follow-up, which of them makes the strongest Pool C candidate?

I've fixed the poll.  Considerably more cluttered at the bottom now that I've entered everything correctly. 

I need to do something about this spreadsheet.  It works great, except for the fact that Google Docs crashes all the time.  I can never be exactly sure where it saved before it crashes.  We don't keep Excel on our work computers.  But, I'm going to try another way next week.

[wally_wabash]

We don't keep Excel on our work computers. 

How do you survive?  Sweet jeebus...I need Excel at work in the same way I need oxygen. 

[DPU3619]

I was told that news media doesn't need spreadsheets. 

I've got some crappy clone of Excel that doesn't open .xls files correctly and a Word clone that doesn't open .doc files correctly.  Awesome, right?  Makes it impossible to deal with the outside world.

If I could just get Google Docs to quit crashing, I'd be perfectly fine.

I use http://www.openoffice.org/ for my spreadsheet and document based needs. It's basically like the MS suite of programs. There can be small quirks (like colors) when opening something you did in OOo in a MS version, but any .doc or .xls should open fine in it and you can save files in that format too. I used it when I was in college and doing my homework at home (I commuted) and then doing stuff on school computers and vice versa. Worked great. I can't say much about the other programs since I don't use them much but it's basically got anything Microsoft Office has.

Sounds like MS Works - yuck.

I thought I'd compile this again this week... last week is in parethesis
