Mine is sent, sorry it took so long. If you can't count mine, no big deal, it was time for me to look at all of the teams anyway. :thumb:

Not exactly...

It will be limited to just 25 from now on... I wanted 40 to see how practical it was... It was not at all, so I cut it to 25...

Now for my own addition to the poll.... The AWARDS!

Most Biased: MarineTiger - Wondering where that (1) came from right next to LSU? Well here he is... the only one who didn't put USC as #1..

Most Forgetful (or biggest Horn hater..): tiger777 - Jeez, Texas ranks 4th in the poll overall, and this jackass doesn't even give them a vote... Hell, if he had given them a top 19 vote, they would have been bumped up to #3.... good job there...

Unusual Placement Award: NC State - only got two votes, but totaled 20. Two people have high expectations for them (top 20), but no one else...

Out Of The Loop Award: Beaux-Bo - First of all... Cal is not worthy of having TWO votes in one poll.... I don't care what you think of them.... Secondly... you voted for Ole Miss.... lefire: ! Enough Said...

Least Biased: LSUTiger327 - I only made this one because he is the only one who did not vote LSU in the top 5. Even the Barners......

Most Ironic: Hawker45 - Most Tigers voted his school higher than he did. Trying to be unbiased? Or just lower expectations than the rest of us?

Most Dissapointing: Big XII North - Hey, that sounds familiar.... Not one of them got in the top 25... In fact, none got close. Closest was Nebraska (14).

Strangest Vote: mcmikel - Memphis #25.... No where else on the list is another CUSA team, but Memphis (their only point came right here...).

Biggest Surprise: Virginia - Making the Top 25 was, in my mind, unusual. Having to face FSU, Miami, and VTech is not an easy task....

Nowhere To Go But Up: Utah - What adversities do they have to face all year? Certainly not any football teams on their schedule... The only thing that I can see as a problem for the is losing Urban Bradsky (which shall be his official title from now on).

Conferences Represented:

SEC - 6 (we arn't biased or anything...)
ACC - 5
Big XII - 4
Big Ten - 4
PAC 10 - 3
Big East - 2

and.... Mountain West - Boise State

I hope this is worth keeping a tradition here at TigerForums. Everyone who sent me a vote be sure to remember after that first week. I will make a list and PM everyone as a reminder.

Thanks for doing this. It's Fun!

Thanks!

Good work Berge! Now where's MY AWARD!!!

Thanks for doing the poll, but you're mistaken with naming me as the "biased one"....I, in fact, did NOT put LSU #1. I had us ranked 3rd behind USC and Iowa--the defending (for the FIRST time) national champ, and the team that beat us and then followed up with a steller recruiting period.

I even saved the PM that I sent you with my votes....

Crap, I thought we would be able to avoid any conspiracy in our poll. I guess there is no getting around it. So, who is the real culprit? We may never know.
