*Call for ballots*: BY25 poll #4 (due Mon., Dec. 20, 11a ET)

[Plebe]

The 4th 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. 20. (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. 19.

The poll is open to anyone, regardless of fan base affiliation, who has a Boneyard account. You need not have participated in previous polls to submit a ballot for this one.

Some notes and reminders:

• Early ballots are generally not allowed. Ballots should reflect all games played through Sunday, Dec. 19. Please don't submit your ballot until all potentially ballot-impacting games have been decided on Sunday.
• Please double-check your ballot for errors, duplications, and omissions. Having the same team listed twice is the most common flaw. 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 from this season are linked below:

• Poll #3 (Dec. 6)
• Poll #2 (Nov. 23)
• Preseason poll (Nov. 8)

As an aid to voters, I'm posting the results since the last poll of Dec. 6. (Please comment below if you notice any errors or omissions.)

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

The #24 team in the poll won today because Boston College choked like a dog in the 4rh quarter... blowing a double digit lead with 7 minutes to play... and a 7 pt lead with 2 minutes to play. Not trying to influence any voters, just reporting what I saw earlier today.

Okay good I'll drop them to make room for DePaul.

@triaddukefan How do you feel about the teams that ended up in the Duke's Mayo Bowl?

I'd like to vote but can't figure out how to send a PM.

I'll send you a PM first, which you can reply to.

For reference, if you place your cursor over my username "Plebe" to the left of this message, a window should pop up and you should see an option to "Start conversation". Clicking on that should bring up the page where you can compose a PM.
