*Call for ballots*: BY25 poll #9 (due Mon., Feb. 28, 11a ET)

[Plebe]

The 9th 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, Feb. 28, 2022. (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, Feb. 27.

The poll is open to anyone, regardless of fan base affiliation, who has a Boneyard account. There is no need to 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, Feb. 27. 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 #8 (Feb. 14)
• Poll #7 (Jan. 31)

Lots and lots of games to keep track of today. If my counting is correct, 15 of the BY25 teams are in action in the next 6 hours.

The NC State–Virginia Tech game does not begin until 6:00 p.m. Eastern time, which means our turnaround time will be tighter than usual. Voters are requested to withhold their ballots until that game has been decided.
