The final vote before Selection Sunday is absolutely brutal. Please keep a couple of things in mind voters.

The poll will NOT close at Noon Eastern on Monday morning.

IT WILL CLOSE AT 9A ET ON SUNDAY 11/20/2016 TO BE CLOSED PRIOR TO SELECTION SHOW BY ABOUT AN HOUR.

The earlier you vote, the better, because this gives you time to double check your ballot before submitting it to prevent duplicates, and gives you time to respond to any emails/PM's regarding your poll before it closes.

I will reopen it later on Sunday for voters that could not get the ballot in prior to the Selection Show but those won't count for anythign other than to preserve a poll perfection. If you want to be counted you must vote by the special deadline.

I'll repeat this. Be extremely careful, look at each and every box you fill in and make damn certain you have it correct. I have no time to fix a bunch of errors in this one so do your part and submit cleanly.

And remember, despite the similarity in our names and our colors, Western Illinois is not the same as Western Carolina. 😉

Right now...maybe not. If we win this weekend, maybe. I'm just saying, there was apparently confusion last time.

Trust me, nothing sucks about the poll more than this weekend.

Much earlier up for me than you SOB's
Luckily I don't get hangovers but I do move much slower so just not a good combo overall.
Oh year, it is earlier here than there.

Great. A weekend a I actually get to a UNI game (I typically get home from those after 9) and it's an early close

Good thing there was a reminder

Can I get a bereavement pass this week. I really do not feel like doing anything. We lost the game and our QB. Can I get a pass from the poll class?

Hmm, your team is still gonna be in the playoffs right? No. I don't feel good about anything tonight either but I gotta do my part, you gotta do yours.

Does Eric have any eligibility left? I thought about texting him and seeing if he could catch a flight to Richmond after Thanksgiving dinner was over. xlolx

On the behalf of all AGS voters I'd like to extend a big "**** YOU!!!" to Cal Poly.

Ursus, the poll email you sent this week has a link to what appears to be a past ballot that is now closed.

Pretty sure he said he had to close it because of Cal Poly-NoCo

Same, wanted to have it ready to submit after the CP/UNC game

It isn't open because the Cal Poly game is still on and unfortunately, sort of close. When that game is not in doubt, it opens.

Submitted. Not too happy with the amount of teams that decided to make the bubble extremely weak this year, but my poll is solid.

Done. Wasn't as difficult to finish out the top 25 as I'd have thought.

The bubble in 2012 was pretty solid. An 8-3 Richmond was left out of the playoffs. Along with a Towson team that finished 7-4 and ended the season with a 29 pt win over a team that made the playoffs.

You're right. Eastern Kentucky, Youngstown State, Tennessee-Martin, and Northern Arizona were also noteworthy 7 or higher D1 win bubble teams left out of the playoffs. xthumbsupx

For all voters that missed the Sunday morning deadline. The poll is now reopened for the supplemental vote which will help keep your perfection streak rolling if you wish to cast the ballot now.
