Releasing Individual Poll Votes

[cjwilhelmi]

I am just curious about what some others thought about this. Since BCS is now releasing final poll voting information, would the powers that be at USLIA.COM be of the same mindset? They could post everyone's final vote (one long freaking post) and then lock the thread so that no one could complain or argue on line at least.

I would be in favor of it. What is the opinions of the other poll voters?

I just think it would add credibility.

As an aside, I have been thinking about this today

then lock the thread so that no one could complain or argue on line at least.

People would still start new threads.

No matter what, people are going to complain.

Yeah I'm going to go shoot myself now. (sarcasm)

After reviewing the ballots today, I'm in favor of it.

[sohotrightnow]

If you're in favor it, will you release the votes?

[mholtz]

As a voter I'm against it, but mostly because I don't want to spend hours explaining my mindset that i already spent hours deciding on.

[sohotrightnow]

No explanations needed. You do not have to defend your votes on this board. If somebody wants to PM you, it is up to you if you want to respond.

[Sonny]

If you're in favor it, will you release the votes?

No. I won't do it. May change that moving forward though or publish the individual voter ballots anonymously.

[cjwilhelmi]

Well, I know you wont Sonny but I am going to release mine.

cj just thinking that you have never seen a rmlc game. if you would have seen uvsc play theu would not be number 2 in your poll.

If you have any issues with his poll, I think it would be best to respect his wishes and express them offline, as he requested.

Unless I'm misinterpreting his actions, he's trying to make public his vote in order to stand by it, not to open himself to public criticism.

Since I believe that final polls should be made public, I will be the first one to release mine in hopes that other pollsters will also make theirs public.

I am just releasing so that Corbin is not alone, with his polls floating out there. Right or wrong, I did make as a prerequisite on my poll that the first four spots go to conference champions because a first round "bye" was at stake. If the tourney included 16 teams I am not sure I would have done that.
