everyone should and can vote as they like, maybe i'm just missing something here.

I cant say I dont agree Dave. But if the majority likes to see stuff like that when they vote and it was like that last year, Im sure we can accomendate them with this little add if it helps them with there vote and what not. Im sure for Holmey this is an easy fix.

See, some of you are thinking too much into this. If in week 14, you're looking at what teams did in weeks 1-12 still to decide on how to vote them, well, its easy to see what their current rank is, because its right there on the voting aid, right? As in, if Texas is #12 in the voting ad, and then you look at what #13 Oklahoma State did, hopefully when you see they played Texas in week 10, you can figure out that hey, Texas is currently #12. Right? That's why it was intended that we just show what the rank was when the game was played. And this is how its done in real life too, so that's what we tried to copy.

Massey's are out and they are absolutely shitting on Boise State. He is way down at #11.

The Big 4 are rather surprising:
1. Stanford 1.938
2. Virginia Tech 1.930
3. Connecticut 1.869
4. Michigan State 1.813

So close, it will all come down to voting. Best of luck to you guys, voting will be fierce.

Hey Mark....thanks for doing hte voting aids all year. It really is a huge help to me personally and Im sure to a man everyone would agree.

Awesome.

the exact thing i was saying other weren't taking into account is the same thing i didn't take into account for VTech. The strengths of BC (#12) and NC St (#6).

The ACC, for all the early bashing, ended up as the 2nd best conference (that wasn't true, i misread) Kudo's to those guys for finishing up strong.

I hope people take into account NC State as they were unranked but should be Top 10. If only the moron coaching them would play his games on time this wouldn't be an issue. Its not like he does anything else for the league!

the ACC finished 6th

yeah one of the things i did when I was doing the voting aid was writing down the rankings whenever a ranked team lost so that it would show Oklahoma State beating a #5 Texas team (using mark's example) in week 6 even though Texas fell to #21 in the second to last poll.

I'm not sure how useful it was for everybody else, but there's nothing that can do that for us in the system I don't think unless it's kept manually

Personally I will be looking at who teams beat as they were at the END of the season, not when they beat them. Our system isn't like real-life, where people get to "view" the teams week by week and in order. As stated before, NCSU wasn't ranked because they didn't play until late. Had they played weekly like in real life, the ACC title game would've been hyped big time.

Not sure how much I'll use Massey other than for SOS.

I was only about 2 weeks behind this time, didnt pull a trendon like 12 games in a week and a half.

What hurt me was I started 0-2, UCONN and Auburn, then fell completely off everyones radar. first couple wins were close so stayed off until late.

Trendon was a PIMP getting his games in when his ps3 was back inservice. 10 games in less than 4 days is impressive.

Id get that many games in that fast too if all I had for entertainment was taking a fat chick to the movies and banging 4s.
