The AGS Preseason Poll Opens 07/23/2015 - ATTN NEWBS

[AGSPoll]

THE AGS PRESEASON POLL WILL OPEN @ NOON ET ON 07/23/2015 AND WILL CLOSE @ IT'S NORMAL TIME OF NOON ET ON MONDAY 07/27/2015.


I would like the sage's around here to help the freshmen class acclimate to what they should be doing to help themselves out each week.

One thing is that you should at the very least start a text doc and save it on your desktop with your poll login information so that you can make sure it is correct, and then copy & paste that correct information in when submitting your ballot. I am talking about using proper capitalizations instead of 1/2 assing it just putting your name in all lowercase. That doesn't work, it needs to be exactly as it is here on the forum.

Sage's throw up some tips & tricks you find useful and I'll corral em' all in this post and save them for next years new crop.

You must put Elon somewhere in the top 10 In all seriousness, the best advice is take this pole seriously. Year in and Year out AGS has proven to be one of the most accurate poles in the land

I don't even remember my login info. That would be a good starting point.

It is:

Your proper AGS username
&
the email you signed up with

by the way when putting thsoe two things in do not rely on autofill to finish things for you. It does not work like that. It is why I am big on pushing the copy & paste option we all have. If you start typing then see it autofill and just hit tab it does not go in and causes errors for me to go fix. Don't do that.

Has anyone done any returning experience spreadsheet or anything like that? I have seen a few posts mentioning the returning experience but I haven't seen anything yet.

Yes, look through the FCS forum as Keeper got his stuff all together and done a week or two ago. If you go find the thread that we all talking about it on you'll see the link he posted on it.

Okay. I use two monitors, something not everyone has the fortune of. If you have the ability to I urge you to do so.

This is my general set up





Starting on the left:
1. Supe's awesome how they fared sheet. You simply can't do a poll without it.
2. I use this window to brow box scores of games/teams I'm looking at
3. This window is a play sheet where I start putting teams in order, moving them, etc...
4. Is my actual submission history. As I set my play sheet I transpose into this sheet to keep a running history
5. My actual poll submission tab.

This windows shrink and grow as needed to accomplish what I want to accomplish.

My biggest advice is to start a spreadsheet, or excel file, and track your history. Track your thoughts. Keep records of it. I may go overboard on it but it gives me proper research space, space to compare teams and allows me to see what I'm putting in my submission vs what I want to put there. It's a triple check on the right side if done properly.

Man, you guys do too much work. This is my process:

1. Wing it
2. Get it returned
3. Correct and resubmit
4. Get it returned
5. Correct and resubmit.

This happens a few times. The closer to Monday at noon, the harder I think about it.
