A short discussion section--

I voted FSU #1.

Steve Black, with a 2 team ballot, put OU first.  That was a 2 point vote.

Dr. J didn't vote UK #1  [JNB note - this was because I didn't think
they were the best team in the country - yet]

Some moron put UNC-Charlotte in the top 10.  Must write for Street and
Smith.


It took me quite a while to get this to run right.  Those who voted will
receive, tomorrow I hope, your last ballot in the mail, in the correct
format.  Please use this as a template for future ballots.  Those who
voted will also receive a list of all valid team names.  Ballots that
continually include mistakes or are in a bad format will be rejected.

*University of Rashard Griffith will soon work for you Badgers.

The next ballot will be after the first week of the REGULAR season. (Around
December 9)  No poll will be conducted during the NIT and such.  Those who
didn't get in on the preseason ballot are welcome to join during the year.
Send me your next ballot now, or a message indicating your interest and I'll
send you a ballot template and the all-inclusive list of team names.

Thanks for all who voted in the preseason ballot.  This is the most
participation in any basketball poll I can remember.
