Releasing Individual Poll Votes

Postby cjwilhelmi on Mon May 01, 2006 9:16 pm

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

People would still start new threads.

No matter what, people are going to complain.

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.

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.

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

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.

1. USD
2. St. Thomas
3. UVSC
4. Montana
5. Claremont
6. St. Johns
7. Eckerd
8. Harding
9. Calvin
10. Augustana
11. UNC
12. Southwestern
13. Montana St.
14. Salem St
15. Fort Lewis
16. Dayton
17. Western Washington
18. Elon
19. PLU
20. Creighton
21. Emory
22. Dordt
23. Ferris State
24. Davidson
25. Carnagie Mellon
