BY25 poll #4: Ballots due Monday (Dec. 16)

[Plebe]

Debates about where teams should or shouldn't be ranked can get heated and contentious on The Boneyard. Well, this is your chance to weigh in!

The 4th biweekly edition of the Boneyard Top 25 poll is approaching. Ballots are due to me, via private message, by 10:00 a.m. ET on Monday, Dec. 16. (If you don't know how to send a PM, let me know in this thread and I will PM you first.)

Ballots should reflect all games played through Sunday, Dec. 15.

• Full ballots (of 25 teams) are encouraged, but short ballots (of at least 10 teams) are accepted.
• No ties are allowed on a ballot. Each team on the ballot must have a unique ranking.
• Early voting: Early ballot submissions are accepted only if the voter provides "contingency ballots" or clear instructions regarding potentially ballot-impacting games still to be played. For example, if a voter submits a ballot on Sunday afternoon, but the #9 and #17 teams on their ballot are playing a game later Sunday evening, they should provide two ballots: one in the event of a win by team #9, and the other in the event that #17 wins.

Would it nullify by ballot if I gave Bama a vote?

Would it nullify by ballot if I gave Bama a vote?

Wouldn't that be giving too much credit to a certain team?

 

[Plebe]

Just a reminder that ballots are due in just under 12 hours, by 10 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow morning.

All Sunday games have now been completed.
