*Call for ballots*: BY25 poll #3 (due Mon., Dec. 6, 11 a.m.)

[Plebe]

The 3rd biweekly edition of the 2021-22 Boneyard Top 25 poll is rapidly approaching.

Ballots are due to me, via private message, by 11:00 a.m. ET on Monday, Dec. 6. (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. 5.

Some notes and reminders:

• Early ballots are generally not allowed. Ballots should reflect all games played through Sunday, Dec. 5. Please don't submit your ballot until all potentially ballot-impacting games have been decided on Sunday.
• The poll is open to anyone, regardless of fan base affiliation, who has a Boneyard account. You need not have participated in the preseason poll to submit a ballot for this one.
• Please double-check your ballot for inadvertently repeated teams, inadvertently excluded teams, and incorrectly named teams. The inadvertent repeats are the most common error. Here's a tip: Once you think you have your final rankings, copy them into Word or Excel or a similar program, and then sort the team names alphabetically. This should make it readily apparent if any team is listed twice.
• Full ballots (of 25 teams) are strongly encouraged; 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.

For reference, previous polls this season:

• Poll #2 (Nov. 23)
• Preseason poll (Nov. 8)

This is the first time since we've been voting that I don't feel like 25 teams deserve to be in the top 25. In the past it's always felt like a few deserving teams had to be left out.

 

[Plebe]

As an aid to voters, I'm posting the results since the last poll of Nov. 23. (Please comment below if you see any errors or omissions.)

Just a reminder that ballots should reflect all games played through today (Sunday).

I love my Colorado team. They are fun to watch. Are they a top 25 team? I need convincing.

As for UConn, if Paige is okay I would put UConn in top three, if she’s out, 20th.

@Plebe You didn't list that Duke had a game today. For those who are voting.... Duke was indeed victorious........ on the road... vs Penn... in a hostile enviroment. Final score was 77-55.

Thanks for the correction. Sorry for the oversight.

 

[triaddukefan]
