Top 25 Poll Beta Test -- NEED YOUR HELP!

[Vlyrock]

I have been building a Top 25 poll for us to vote in for football and basketball. I believe the logic behind it all now works, so I need your help beta testing it.

Submit your Top 25 polls here. Consider it a basketball poll (but be forewarned teams like Butler and UW-Milwaukee aren't in the dropdown yet).

You can view the results here.

I hope to have this become a staple of Aggiefans.com soon. :gig:

Also, please let me know any problems you experience. I know (at this time) the HOME page doesn't work. I think it's because I haven't built it... :huh:

i sent mine in to test it.

Don't really know how you rank the top 25 in Bball apart from maybe the top 5-10 teams. There's really not a lot of separation out there.

[Vlyrock]

Yeah -- but the AP and ESPN have to do it, so it'd be interesting to see what regular voters think. College Football will be different though and this poll should work well for that. :gig:

[Vlyrock]

Wow, I received one vote so far...don't you guys want to help make Aggiefans.com better. :sad:

[whitelightnin_23]

I did one...but I agree w/ Cali. 15-25 were pretty difficult.
1) because I don't follow college hoops other than A&M & whose ahead of us in the polls (so I can see if we move up).
2) the margin is pretty close between a lot of those teams.

but I gave it my best effort!

i was just picking teams at random (except for #1) in order to provide some results to test it out. i didn't do one seriously.

[Thisjeffguy07]

i just did the first 25 teams in alphabetical order... :gig:

[Superaggie79]

was southern illinois on there?

[Loftin]

Southern Illinois, Butler, Winthrop, Marquette and Georgetown are all noticeably absent

[Thisjeffguy07]

(but be forewarned teams like Butler and UW-Milwaukee aren't in the dropdown yet).


didn't you see this at the top of the thread?

[Loftin]

didn't you see this at the top of the thread?

Yeah, but I found four big ones that he didn't mention.

[CaliHornia]

Teams are absent because there's way too many teams in college basketball that you have to think about in the first place. In college football there are really, at best, only 30 or so players in any given season. At the bottom it doesn't much matter, anyway. If you're not in the top 15-20, it doesn't matter all that much.

In Bball, you're looking at 60+ teams that could theoretically be ranked.

[Thisjeffguy07]

Yeah, but I found four big ones that he didn't mention.

they're not there yet... meaning he's going to add them

[Vlyrock]

The teams are football teams. The teams that were noticeably absent don't field Div I football teams. I'll add those later.
