Revising the 2011 AGS Poll

[AGSPoll]

Okay, AGS Poll Voters below is the preseason Poll as it was back in May.

Would your rankings be the same now? Would you like to make some tweaks since we have all digested news from football camps ie, injuries, non qualifiers etc. etc. The AGS Poll will hold a Pre Season revision vote this weekend.

With our new voting set-up and popularity and with many new voters signing on to participate, like a football team we want too practice before the season starts. It's our hope this should help us all, work out any bugs with casting votes, signing in issues, etc etc.

The Revised Pre-season poll voting will open on Friday Noon EST and run until Monday Noon EST. Results will be announced soon after the poll closes Monday.

Thanks for your continued support AGS Voters and welcome aboard new voting members. Thank you all for your cotibutions and commitment to your AGS poll!xthumbsupx

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the current list of voters registered as of yesterday/this morning. Some of you guys have signed up twice or more. Not a big deal, but if you get a confirmtion email you are good to go so there is no need to go hit "submit" agoin. Be patient and give the confirmation about 15 minutes to come in because it's only set to go on that interval.

If you have not gotten a confirmation then check your spam folder and make sure it isn't in there. If it isn't in there you probably put the wrong email in and I will be pming you to check on why it's different from your profile email address.

[appfan2008]

please confirm that i am registered as i did it just yesterday and have thoroughly enjoyed it in years past and would hate to miss out...

[darell1976]

Do we have to vote if we want to leave the poll as is??

[TheRevSFA]

Hooray this is my first year doing this.

[bluehenbillk]

Like every preseason, it's hard to pick out under-rated teams but I could ratle off a decent list of teams I think are rated too high in that poll.

[TheRevSFA]

I would put SFA at number 2.....0.

[WileECoyote06]

Thanks for letting me in for another year. I enjoy participating.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

please confirm that i am registered as i did it just yesterday and have thoroughly enjoyed it in years past and would hate to miss out...

You should have received a confirmation email? Did that not happen? I will post the voter list as of today so you can all see if you are on it or not but I'm pretty sure I saw your name on there.

[TheRevSFA]

Actually I didn't get a confirmation email

[ursus arctos horribilis]

I added the list of names to agspoll's original post.

[THE DANIMAL]

Wish there wasn't a number of posts rule to vote. I'm too lazy to post on here but I read the different topics here on a daily basis! :(xbawlingx

[StorminASU]

Do what Citdog does and just post a lot of stuff that no one really cares about.

Go sign up because you've been here more than a year and may get a pass with the poll committee. There are others that have not made the 100 post count thing that have been given a pass before so it's a 50/50 shot.

You do have an opinion on FCS stuff so just share it and that's all it takes to get a few posts under your belt. People are gonna both agree with it and disagree with it so don't be afraid to share it.

[citdog]

Do what Citdog does and just post a lot of stuff that no one really cares about.

I've been doing that for almost a decade here now. It's a solid plan.

[ElonFirefighter]

I know im twice as important as anyone on here, but i guess i better point out my name is on there twice. AApparently i registered 2 times

[appfan2008]

on the list now!

[HensRock]

OOps. I just re-registered because I wasn't sure if I was on there.
I hope I don't show up twice because I'm only half as important as elonFireFighter.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

I know im twice as important as anyone on here, but i guess i better point out my name is on there twice. AApparently i registered 2 times
You did. I just wanted to leave a couple on there because I got sick of sorting and thought maybe some of you would see that hitting the submit once will do the trick. I'll pull the duplicates when I verify them.

Anybody that DOES NOT get a confirmation email can just pm me and I'll go see if we have an email problem or something and fix it for ya.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Are you guys not getting confimation emails?

[HensRock]

I received email that my registration was received, but no indication whether it was approved or not.
(or if that was a separate email, maybe I just missed it - sorry)

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Gotcha. That helps cuz it means you are on the list and if there were any problems with it we will contact you in a pm but it appears the content of the confirmation could be clearer so you know where you stand when you get it?

I'll put that down as something to hone in on for next years registration so thanks for the help.

You are a stalwart HensRock and you are approved.:)

[Humble Steward]

I just registered. I am excited about voting this year. This will be another great year for FCS football.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Totally agree HS, and very glad to have ya on there!

[GeauxLions94]

Just registered also. Glad to be back on board

[chattownmocs]

I know I havent been here a year but I think I should be given a vote. It takes away from the legitimacy if my expert opinion is not included.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

True. I will be an advocate of your canidacy but I'm sure if you are in your vote will be scrutinized.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

4:30 for you EC heatens.

So you did it at 3:30, Daylight Saving Time?

[Jacked_Rabbit]

Do we have to vote if we want to leave the poll as is??

Did anyone ever answer this question? I'll probably re-vote anyway, but I was curious about this as well.

[Squealofthepig]

Just one quick question - do we have a good sampling from all conferences? Looking at the list I can see good numbers from the CAA, SoCon, MVC and BSC (by names and by reputation), but I'm not sure about conferences like, say, the Ivy.

(I bring this up mainly to say, if you're a fan coming from what you view as an under-represented conference, I would encourage you to sign up - it is a lot of fun to comb through all the game notes/threads/box scores on Saturday night/Sundays, and exposes you to a lot more FCS football).

Great post. We can't force involvement from them but if they did get involved it would help their cause.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

No you do not have to revote. This will be autonomous from the preseason and it is a way for us to get in the groove on something that we haven't done in a couple of months. This is a defferent system (scratch built) than was used in years past and we just want to go through it again to make sure we are streamlined with no issues in the system that need to be corrected.

It won't count against anybody for not voting in this one but I hope as many as can will throw a vote in and help us make sure things are smooth. If you are happy with your original preason vote you could just pull your ranking that was emailed to you and cast antoher ballot of the same choices.

[Jacked_Rabbit]

Good to know. Thanks for clarifying, Ursus!

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Just updated the list again as of a few minutes ago that who's on the signup sheet.

Pretty decent we are at about 150 voters. Would be cool if we could edge up near 200 so sign up if you have an inclination to vote this year.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

The revision (final test) vote will begin at noon EST. If you want to vote in it today through Monday at noon then hit the registration link in the first post and get on there.

You will still be allowed to register for the regular season vote up until 08-31-2011.

Don't re-register if your name is on the list. Some of you guys have registered 3 or 4 times.xlolx

[ursus arctos horribilis]

The voting link is open.

There is a change from the preseason ballot. Easy check box for you to select the conference your vote is coming from and also the "Most Significant" options.

Just leave those last two with the "--------------------" in the box since there is no gmaes to base this on.

Select "Independent" if you do not have a conference to call your own.

I appreciate it. It was a lot of work and GAS, Tman, KNUTs, & the Poll Committee were also entirely instrumental in getting this to the point is at so a big thanks to those guys from me as well.

Oh ****...KNUT's was involved? This will be an epic fail. You should have used Bandl's committee.







Thanks again folks previously not mentioned

He's not on the committee but did help in verifications and so forth that is ongoing.

[LeadBolt]

Updated

[Twentysix]

Updated, my votes definitly changed.

I ranked the conferences according to my top 25 poll. #1 being worth 25 points to the conference and #25 being worth 1 point. Parenthesis contain # of ranked teams.

Conference Rankings top 25 only
1 Colonial Athletic Association 73(5)
2 Southern Conference 67(3)
3 Missouri Valley Football Co 62(5)
4 Big Sky Conference 54(4)
5 (Tie) Ohio Valley Conference 19(1)
5 (Tie) Southland 19(2)
7 Patriot League 15(1)
8 Great West 8(1)
9 Ivy League 5(1)
10 Northeastern Conference 2(1)
11 Mid-Eastern Athletic Con 1(1)

Next year the big sky might be #1 come preseason. So many teams....sheesh.

bandl is a one man committee. That's pretty much an epic fail xlolx

How am I doing in that poll? Haven't see it in a while.

Eh, nevermind. Don't want to steer this thread off track.

[Grizzaholic]

I was told that Bandl was only the PUBLIC member of the committee. There were others that had to remain nameless due to their social status.

[bojeta]

Done. Definitely some movement primarily in my pics from 10-25. Key injuries, ineligibility, transfers to/from, and additional info garnered from a variety of sources. Gonna get real interesting next Sat evening!!

Is my immediate reaction from 2 seconds of looking at the poll. You realize we took the NC to overtime and lost the game on a questionable call on the 5 yd line on 2nd down right? Incase you arent familiar.

We also retain almost all starters.

Tough call, had it been ruled down on the field that wouldnt have been overturned either, imho.
