What would he say about Nebraska fans gaming the system by obsessively and dishonestly voting?
Why yes, that will teach him to respect Nebraska.

There's nothing dishonest about it. No one is making up identities or email addresses to "fool" the voting software. If ESPN is going to allow people to vote more than once, it's going to happen.

They forgot another huge factor...fan support.

I'm talking about people voting for football programs they DON'T respect in the top 10, so as to deny the Huskers' legitimate contenders.
But yeah, it's fan voting. So if Nebraska loses to another program whose fans have figured out a faster way to refresh and revote online, we must bow to their clear superiority.
Seemed like a neat poll for people to vote for.
Kinda sad to see the way people voted here from Huskerboard ... you just gotta vote your conscience guys, you can't vote bad programs 2-5 and put the best programs 20-25.
Don't you end up winning a poll that YOU dramatically change the composition of. It's not really worth winning when you do that ... IMHO.
It kinda reminds me of black people voting for Obama because of the color of his skin, rather than for what he really believes in. Don't those kind of people end up violating the very heart of what Martin Luther King Jr. lived and died for ... that one would be judged by one's character, not the color of their skin. Skin is suppose to be irrelevant.
Back to football, I just don't get this. This board should encourage Husker fans to vote ... just like we encourage our Husker fans to cheer at the game ... but we don't promote bad sportsmanship ... right?
Maybe I'm too idealistic ... or maybe I just trying to live out what I say I believe even when filling out a simple pool.
My top 5 were ...
Huskers
Alabama
OU
Penn State
Florida State
Notre Dame and USC were just outside the top 5.

All fans from ALL schools vote the same way. If anyone cared, their would be an IP restrict like there is on well say Huskerboard.com. (Forewarning, this is noway intended to be a personal attack)To think that other fans from other schools aren't doing the same exact thing, and that well we have to be different because that's the "Nebraska Way" is too idealistic.

A lot of times they do nothing with those polls. It is just something for the people to do. Probably use it just to get a lot more hits on the site.
