Wikipedia page needs CFP Users Poll

Postby CFP Admin » Tue Jul 07, 2009 6:37 pm

This Wikipedia page wants our CFP Users Poll.

Where do we stand with voting groups?

I would be in.

I think our poll would be very representative. I am not big on polls, but to have Phil Steele not put Utah in the top 25...maybe there is a reason....Notre Dame in number 8.....If he is right...then he deserves an apology......

We can come much closer, in my arrogant opionion.

I'm going to list the names on the sign up sheet. Actually the summer has moved pretty quick for me. I didn't realize we are less then two months away. Anyone who wants to vote please sign up. The more voting, the better chance the poll will be representitive.

Pure rubbish...Notre Dame #8?? What a pant load.

Does anyone know how Sports Illustrated comes up with their rankings? Is it like the lottery? You put names in a hat and then pull out 10 names??

Or do the swimsuit models pick their favorite uniforms?
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

I'm a little confused. That means the CCR is predicting that Temple will go 11-1 this year!?!?!? :shock: :shock:

I've been wrong before, but I'm not willing to put money on that bet :lol: . I don't want to sound too harsh towards the formula because I do like most of it, just saying there's always a head-scratcher in the poll. :D

Is there any chance the procedure is reconstructed? I mean, I'm fine with the way we did it, but I don't know if we have enough participants to constitute multiple groups :?

2 or 3 groups might be the way to go.

I don't need multible groups, just at least one person per group. The problem is JasonG and WVU have said they can't be the head of a group, meaning they can't fill out a poll every week. That means we are short people. I am thinking of doing it with less people, but the poll doesn't hold up as well.

It ihas nothing to do with conspiracy. We only have ten spots for voting. The program that tallies and posts the votes only excepts ten entries. I'm not smart enough to change it, so it is what it is.
