*Call for ballots*: Boneyard Top 25 preseason poll is open

Cross-posting from the main forum for those who hang out mostly here:

It's that time again. The Boneyard Top 25 poll (BY25) is back.

Voting is now open for the 2021-2022 BY25 preseason poll. Ballots are due to me, via private message, by 11:00 a.m. ET on Monday, Nov. 8. (If you don't know how to send a PM, let me know in this thread and I will PM you first.)

A few rules and tips:

• Everyone, regardless of team loyalty, is equally welcome and encouraged to submit a ballot. The sole prerequisite is to have a Boneyard account. The more balanced and diverse the electorate, the better the poll.
• Full ballots (of 25 teams) are encouraged; short ballots (of at least 10 teams) are accepted.
• No ties are allowed on a ballot. Each team on the ballot must be assigned a unique ranking.
• Double-check your ballot to ensure: (a) no team is listed more than once, and (b) you’ve correctly named each team (e.g., not confusing “Iowa” and “Iowa State”).

For reference, the final BY25 poll from March 25, 2021, may be found here.

Oh Boy! Christmas came early… let me perseverate over my top 50, edit, cross out, re-edit and sleep on it only to start the process again the next day…when is this due?

I need a little clarity on the health of Kayla Jones for the first month.

Seems like Boyd probably won't be right this season so there could be issues there.

Kayla Jones is recovering from knee surgery and according to Coach Moore, will start the season playing "limited minutes".

Jada Boyd will likely miss the first month. The problem is on her shooting hand.

Curse you Plebe! Day four of me editing my list AGAIN....If only I had taken this much thought on proposing to my wife....

I wait until after I see my team(s) in scrimmages. Duke has one Thursday night... High Point has one Friday Night.

I made sure to give everyone 10 days to obsess over their preseason ballot.

Didn't want to be accused of sneaking up on anyone

High Point? You know this is top 25 in the country, right? Not just North Carolina.

Ok, it's Nov 1st, I can officially sign up for the Sling Orange package again to get the PAC12, SEC and ACC games. I wonder how many exhibitions will be shown-anyone?

Excellent early voter turnout so far, with 14 ballots submitted thus far.

For those still working on their ballots, just a reminder that they're due in 3 days from now: on Monday, Nov. 8, at 11 a.m. Eastern time.

Just a friendly reminder to my fellow voters that the preseason ballots are due in 24 hours, at 11 a.m. Eastern time on Monday.

I had Texas too high.

I am high on UNC and interested in Duke but they didn't make it.

I guess leaving out Ohio State and West Virginia might be unusual.

How much convincing do you need? A victory over rising Big South Power Winthrop? Dayton? App State?

Ballots are due in less than 2 hours.
