I had Kansas at 16.
Partially because I forgot to rank them so I put them in there, but also because they looked pretty pedestrian against Creighton
I also forgot about the Purdue win which was my fault
Would of moved them up to 12 ish and moved everyone else down
I will post my ballot soon

I had my doubts about Nebraska winning the championship until I saw sophmore Andi Jackson play for the first time. Nebraska just keeps reloading with superstar talent. |

Sorry, that was another typing error on my part that has now been corrected. The high for Purdue was actually #4, but the interesting thing is on that same ballot that had Purdue #4 Stanford was #1 and Nebraska #6. LMAO that ballot should be excluded then… that poster clearly didn’t try at all to make a legit ballot Meh. That's why it's a ranking by committe and not a personal power ranking. Isolated bad ballots get washed out by the crowd Plus it would be a lot less fun if we didn't have some crazy rankings for everyone to complain about each week. |

There are no rules to the poll. The creator of the poll has made that very clear. They don’t exclude ballots unless sent in too late |

Outside of those three wild rankings on that one ballot all the other rankings on that ballot were reasonable and the ballot did not make an impact for any of the teams where there may have been questionable rankings. Also, this was not even close to some of the crazy ballots Shhhhhh would submit! LOL |

He was an ass, but he brought alot of value to this board. |

Still confused as to why people are ranking BYU. They have no ranked wins and a loss to USD. Miami is more deserving, at this point imo.

 2. Penn State 3. Nebraska You really think Penn State is better than NE after this week performance? I meant it is close but still..... As a PSU fan my eye test says Nebraska is better. Plus 2 Nebraska back ups are starting for PSU. |

Purdue at 3.... Seriously what are people doing that's also unforgivable lol. Stanford at 1 and Purde at 3 are just NOT defendable and I don't understand why people even vote to submit BS like that lol Sorry, that was another typing error on my part that has now been corrected. The high for Purdue was actually #4, but the interesting thing is on that same ballot that had Purdue #4 Stanford was #1 and Nebraska #6. LMAO reveal this vagrant. |

I almost left it off in favor of Dayton or Auburn but neither of them have good wins either. Auburn beat FSU and Dayton beat Illinois but lost to Marquette. I have a bunch of teams from ~21 - 35 that I probably could put in almost any order. BYU is one of them. |

Let me reiterate what I said before: I apologize for nothing! I actually didn't ask or want your apology. I just wanted to hear your reasoning. That's all! but you know I still respect you and your opinions, right? BECAUSE I DO! |

LOL, back in the 3rd year of the poll I used to save the third post and list out 10-15 ballots with the voters name that did not post there own ballots. That became too time consuming and as more voters started to post their own ballots that practice ended going into year 4. BiK, Shhhhh, and a few others loved to defend their crazy ballots. Again though, it all balances out when you have 30+ voters every week. |

For one, there's not a lot to work with towards the bottom of the poll. I didn't want to rank either of them, but looking at their losses, BYU's felt a little more palatable, especially because Miami's flop against OSU/Wright State was immediately after the Texas win (and made that win look more flukey). |

Again though, it all balances out when you have 30+ voters every week. I generally think posters should be able to vote anonymously if they want. I only say that because this is the first year I feel confident posting my ballot despite voting for a couple of years. Voting isn’t easy and defending yourself can suck sometimes. People don’t realize how vicious they can be. Trolling is gonna happen. Let be fly under the radar I guess if they want. |
