Very interesting. I like the fact that we can see who says what, but in terms of how this will affect the game, do you think it will mean anything? I'm just curious.

With the votes being showed, I wouldn't be suprised if it caused some problems for people who didn't vote for this team or that team. I also wouldn't be suprised if we see turdledo #1 after a few weeks of death threats.

Since it will only be made public once, it seems to me that the poll will be set with only slight variations by that time of year. In other words, conferences like the MAC will still get beat up in the polls, unless they have a "SUPER" team.

This is stupid, if they have to make their votes public in the final poll, why not make them public all season long?

My thoguht exactly. Revealing the voters on the final poll still will not tell us if anybody changed his vote from the previous week in order to influence the championship matchup.

And there are those inconsistancies like someone possibly voting Wisconsin higher than BGSU the week after we beat them at home. There is no excuse for that crap, especially early in the year.
