Poll REsults Here!!!

These would be, finally, the poll results. #s in Parens indicate first
place vo
tes. The first, larger, number is the total number of points (25 for a
1st place
vote, 24 for 2nd, etc.) and the second is the # of ballots on which the
school w
as selected. There were 61 ballots. That means that every school was
left off a
t least *two* ballots.

Well, this is one poll in which nobody can complain about a CBI bias.
Four ACF-only schools in the Top 10, including one at #1; Michigan's
only third; and very high rankings for Harvard and Iowa State, both of
which did much better at ACF and the circuit than at CBI. (Note: I am
NOT complaining about any of this--I voted Michigan #1, but I haven't
seen Tech play this year.)
>Oklahoma 756 55
>Chicago 748 57
Not very high performances at either NCT (although getting past
the sorely underrated Wisconsin in CBI is an accomplishment), but the
Sheahan factor still affects placement.
>Stanford 593 49
>Minnesota 554 50
Ahh...respect. :) Seems that the CBI NCT gave us some wider exposure;
we used to appear on fairly few ballots (partly as a result of not
playing full teams at invitationals).
>Emory 494 46

A very well-deserved high ranking.

Did Tom Waters play this year, or is there another (obviously strong,
from their average) SC team?

Not the exact same Top 25 I'd pick, but a pretty good list.
Interesting difference in votes between #25 and #26.

Witness the scandalous drop of the University of South Alabama as confirmation
of this. As anyone drop so far, so fast?

Maryland was certainly one of the few schools to be even somewhat competitive
against GT this year- they may have a more legitimate claim to #2. Although I
do find it very interesting that Michigan gets #3 despite beating Virginia at
CBI NCT. Granted, there is not much difference here, but it may reflect a
general distrust of the relevancy of the CBI NCT in such a ranking system.
And GT was left off 4 ballots? Hmmm....

And Illinois is finally getting some respect. I don't know who they are
losing, if anyone, but they should only improve with time (although if they
lose James Anderson, it will be a harder task). And Ben raises an interesting
point: ACF and circuit performance may be getting more preference than CBI.
If you vote, how do you weigh the different factors?

Tom played at the UVA tournament, where South Carolina won. I don't know what
else he played during the year. But he was awfully impressive (as always) at
that tournament.

What the heck, we need an on-topic post.

It's interesting that every school received an integral number of votes
despite the scaling. Did this not come into play? Did no school submit
more than three ballots?

Also, no one can complain about a pro-East bias. 4 of the top 10, and 12
out of 25 overall from west of the Appalachians.

If we follow the state-name-only-means-system's-main-campus convention,
aren't these two the same thing? Maybe someone out there can verify this.

Only two schools did so, if memory serves. The >3 ballots were lumped
together and their composite Top 25 were their Top 25.

I just went with what people put down on their ballots in the Missouri
campus' cases. To be honest, I don't know which is the main campus in
Missouri OR which teams (other than Rolla) actually play.

Hey, Arthur - do you play at Maryland or at College Park now?

Could somebody please either forward the original poll results post to
me or repost it? I was out of town for a while, and the spamming forced
the message off our spool faster than usual.

Since this is the case, could you post the number of #1 votes each school
received? Or did Georgia Tech get them all? Every previous poll has
included this information.
