How many voters are there for thew AGS poll?

[BJWilliams]

206 this season, but its not often 100% attended from what I know (as a voter myself)

How does your weekly #1 vote for Liberty not skew the rankings?

[BJWilliams]

lol...thankfully no one is allowed to vote their own school number 1 so that isnt an issue...it would be funny though

[adam42381]

So they get the #2 slot or are you not allowed to vote for them at all?

[BJWilliams]

Im allowed to vote for them, I just cant vote them #1 (homer rule I think they call it). I kept us #24 this week.

[adam42381]

Just messing with you.

[BJWilliams]

lol I figured

[thepostman]

24 is still too high

[Sly Fox]

Polls after one week are all ridiculously speculative. So I never have a big problem with the early rankings one way or the other. By the time we get past the Lehigh game, things will have settled and then we can really nitpick to pass the time.

[Rooster Cogburn]

Take a look at this thread where folks post their AGS poll ballots. Some have LU as high as 17 or even 12. wow.

To be frank, a lot of people were quite surprised as to Liberty's result against Wake Forest with all the change that the program went through from last year to this year, so I think a lot of that is born out in the votes that people posted on there
