2017 AGS POLL PRESEASON TOP 25 VOTE IS OPEN

[AGSPoll]

The poll is now open. The poll will close at Noon Eastern on Monday 7/31/2017 at around Noon ET.

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 on Monday.

VOTE HERE (http://www.anygivensaturday.com/showthread.php?193744-2017-Preseason-Poll-Vote-Link&p=2501082#post2501082)

as you may have noticed the old "Vote Here" link that was at the top of the page now resides at the bottom of the page. It will show up sometime today or tonight I assume but you have many options so no need to wait for that one doorway to open up.

Feel free to use the AGS Poll Forum to discuss teams that should be under consideration, teams that you feel should drop.

Don't post where you are ranking a specific team until after the results are published.

There will be no "How They Fared" of course for this vote.

This poll has always put out a high level product for others to utilize so please continue your superlative work again this season.

[AGSPoll]

New voters please hold off to vote until tomorrow so I can get you all access to this forum where you can read some simple instructions and tips as to how to make your (and mine) voting process much easier.

This is a forum visible only to AGS Poll Voters and is titled as such:

AGS Poll Voters (http://www.anygivensaturday.com/forumdisplay.php?67-AGS-Poll-Voters)

When you have access, prior to casting your first vote, please read the two "Sticky" threads in this forum. Those things spoken of in those threads are important instructions to take upon yourselves.

Ursus linked it in the discussion thread but for those who didn't see it here's the link to Keeper's starters/stats lost spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1buxoppPqd0lC3L0v2D4pUqPY-ytHWQ-u-DmkpMz-yVk/edit?usp=sharing

It's a great tool to use to place teams based on their relative position to the end of last year.

Alright, I posted this up in the FCSD area as I did not have all new voters added in to the email group as well as the AGS Poll Voter forum. I have that done now. As such this thread can stay here for a couple of days but in the future it will alway be posted up in that forum so as to not grab people that are not registered vote.

Do you have guidance for what week/date range this is for? Obviously the first week only has a few games..

[TheRevSFA]

Well starting off better than last year since I missed the preseason vote last year

[TheKingpin28]

I am beyond excited for this to begin.

???

It's the preseason vote so nothing to do with any games as of yet...or am I missing what you are saying here?

[ursus arctos horribilis]

The number of voters that ended up needing that "Mulligan" over the last few years to get to perfection is pretty dramatic. It is fully worth casting that ballot and getting the leg up on the season for sure.

Oh, it said "most significant win", "most significant loss" etc...

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Oh, it said "most significant win", "most significant loss" etc...

OHHH! That one is a never pay attention to type of thing in the preseason and I didn't mention that for the new guys. Most of the fields on that sheet are required btw but those two are not required so you only (ever) need to fill those in if you feel like doing that. 95% of people do fill them in during the season even though it isn't necessary.

You are going to quickly see that this little portion "Significant" will show how very different all of our thinking is. xlolx

For instance I don't see "Significant" loss as meaning "Worst" loss but these things are seen differently by people.

[The Pud]

should be another fun year

Had my poll done for about 2 weeks now. Couldn't wait. Just hit submit!

You don't hold out until the last minute in case of a big injury or suspension? Maybe a Head Coach calling an escort service from his work phone?

That is so funny. You know, as I was filling it out, those same images were bouncing against my cranium. I did give it a quick review again this morning. Not going to sweat the small stuff though. Plus I have to hit the road for a few days and did not want to have to redo without all my research at my fingertips. It is what it is, regardless of any bimbogate or player transgression.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Another note to any newcomers. If you have trouble, any sort of trouble getting in your ballot then please contact me ASAP and we can work out something to get it submitted. Don't just skip it. I have helped out many people over the years that were in a situation where they could not submit it. No excuses, you miss two votes, you are in real danger of being out and I will probably be pm'ing, emailing, etc. to see what we have going on.

You can look around the board and see how many people have achieved no misses for at least one season and a whole lot of them are working on 5...6...7 seasons of perfection now.

Looks like we have just over 100 voters this year and we usually have about 85-90 voters each week so it's very active base we have in the AGS Poll.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Hambone was in China once I think it was and couldn't submit his ballot cuz the commies were tracking him or something so he texted it to me, or emailed it maybe. I just know for some reason he couldn't submit it through the normal sheet. That is dedication. xlolx

[DirtyDukes]

I think I missed Most significant win - is that going to be an issue? Also obviously the most significant win was JMU

Aw, come on. It is one of the funniest things on. The only network show I actually watch.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Yup, can't do laugh tracks anymore either. I sort of find it offensive to my intelligence now and turn **** off unless it is being used to make fun of itself like in the show Nirvana The Band.

Anyway, probably shouldn't get too sidetracked on this thread just yet. xlolx

Don't feel too stupid; I assumed it was suppose to be our predictive week 1 significant winners and losers and filled it in.

[LehighU11]

Awesome! The 2017 season can't start soon enough. After an off year, I'm looking forward to earning that Poll Perfection honor again.

[JALMOND]

Speaking as someone who is not voting this year (and actually has not participated in the poll for awhile now), the lack of bias and partisanship in the outcome of the poll in the past has always been appreciated, especially for those (like myself) who are in areas where FCS coverage is, should I say, sorely lacking. Good luck to those participating this year. I hope you all are able to keep with it through the year.xthumbsupx

Your BSC rating of the week have always been a highlight of weekly action on this site. Sorry that such a knowledgeable poster isn't participating as a voter.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Bumping this up, get your votes in.

POD Knows is in, and it is the bible. Can we share these polls like we do the other polls so people can call us stupid or geniuses?

Yes sir, after the release tomorrow of the overall poll then you are all welcome to submit your ballots in that thread as we do during the season.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Welp, if I had just read a couple more posts again...xlolx

[ursus arctos horribilis]

You are not gonna be able to make this vote due to the lateness and registration was closed up a couple days back...but if you pm me next Wed. to Thur. and get your post count up over 100 then you would be eligible and I could add you in at that point.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Yep, understand, thanks.

I am not sure if you are the bible POD but you do a very good job so it might be.xthumbsupx

We have 68 votes in right now so it looks about regular with the last few years. There are a couple notable names not in there as of yet though from my perspective. superman & MTFan are both not in yet and that is pretty odd to me.

Yeah, and MTFan steps in and assists me on the ballots as well so I'm not jacked up about this turn of events so far.

As I have time I wil send you new guys a sheet that will list your votes historically although the current week's votes won't necessarily be handy until later in that week.

[POD Knows]

He kinda sounds like a union boss.Nah, I just want somebody to roll the scores up from the prior week and get me the different ratings. I don't have the patience for that kind of detail, the Supe can drink for free if he is ever around me for doing this work.
