Boneyard Top 25: ballots due Monday (Dec. 2)

[Plebe]

How time flies. The 3rd biweekly edition of the Boneyard Top 25 is rapidly approaching. Ballots are due to me, via PM, by 10:00 a.m. ET on Monday, Dec. 2. This poll should reflect all games played through Sunday, Dec. 1.

Lots of poll-impacting results have been logged, especially in the past few days, with potentially more coming today and tomorrow.

Resources:

• Most recent BY25 poll (Nov. 18)
• Warren Nolan's site (click on "Expanded AP Poll" or "Expanded Coaches Poll" to see latest results of teams in those polls).
• @Lorcan 's spreadsheet of BY25 team results since last poll (caveat: may not be entirely up to date).
• BY25 preseason poll

Thanks

Let me add this also, by chance you know "roughly" how many ballots you received from other non-UConn fans posters?

Tough to be sure because some voters' names I don't have associated with a specific team.

But I'd estimate a little more than half (maybe 60%-ish) of the ballots are from UConn fans.

Thanks for the effort to create the Boneyard Poll. Lots of fun

Gonna be tough to do these rankings this week.... will definitely need some sustenance for energy... perhaps a country fried steak and mashed potatoes and a big red soda... courtesy of @Plebe

If this is your ballot, could you send it to me in a private message? That helps me keep track of them.

Sorry, I'm lost. Private message? Couldn't figure that out. It'll have to suffice as the ballot, I think...

No worries. I'll PM so that you can reply. You should see a message in your "Inbox" in a minute.

Watching the reaction to a couple of your picks ought to be fun.

Ha I considered asking them to keep their ballot secret, and then I thought what the hey, maybe it can generate some controversy that will help publicize the poll

I was looking through my pic folders.... but I'll resist.

You may want to redo this

Heck no. Stand your ground.

 

[Blueberries]

Whoa. South Carolina loses one game to a ranked opponent and falls out of top 25 all together?!

 

[mbr33ct]

You may want to redo this

He has 'till Monday 10am to come up with another top 25 ranking.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

There is a potentially poll-changing game tomorrow between Northwestern and DePaul, the two Chicago schools. Interesting that Greenwich, Connecticut's Abby Wolf, the 6'5" post player who was for her first three years rarely used, is now leading the team in rebounds, second in scoring, for the 5-0 Northwestern team.

We'll see of DePaul gets whacked again tomorrow, and whether Northwestern deserves Top 25 consideration.

 

[Plebe]

Reminder that ballots are due to me, via private message, in 12 hours (by 10:00 a.m. tomorrow).

(If you don't know how to private-message, just let me know here so that I can message you first.)

Not sure if @Lorcan is available to update his spreadsheet, so I thought I'd put together a list of *significant* results in the past 2 weeks. Please note: These are not all the games played by the teams listed, only losses and any wins that I think could reasonably affect the voting.

Thanks, Plebe. I’ve been traveling a LOT over the past week and just been busy with the snow hammering Denver.

 

[Lorcan]

Just a note that Syracuse lost to both Stanford and Green Bay in tournament play.
