Voting for the 2008 season will begin on July 1st. All official pollsters must submit a new ballot by August 25th or risk losing their official pollster status. Voting will be like the end of last season: Official Pollsters must submit a ballot Sunday or Monday in order to count in the official poll; the polling window will be open Sunday through Thursday for non-official pollsters and make-up voting by official pollsters. Pollsters that voted at any time during the 2007 season will have the 3-week probationary requirement. New pollsters who begin voting in 2008 will have the 4-week probationary requirement. Voting for the final 2007 and pre-season 2008 do count and are required. Don't wait, signup for your free account now to be ready to vote on July 1st! It's easy and fun! |

BCS Fan Poll National Champion: LSU |
|
Tuesday, 15 January 2008 |
|
The first season of voting has come to a close and the fans select LSU as their national champion with 18 of the 24 first place votes. USC is second with 2 first place votes, Georgia third with 1 first place vote and Kansas fourth with 3 first place votes. We ended the season with 25 official pollsters casting a ballot and 28 total votes. Pre-season voting begins on May 1 and continues until the week before next season in August. Thank you to everyone who helped make this season such a huge success beyond my dreams when starting this website. However, two users helped me out immensely and the site would not be where it is today without their help: hardcoreute and Brandon. Thank you two very much. The forums are always open, so come by and have some conversation about college football during the dog days of the off-season and talk how what teams are getting better or worse. As always, if you have any suggestions for improvements, let me know by any means you want. Many suggestions from users of the site have already been implemented. Improvements planned for next season: New site design and voting groups (useful for other websites to come here and vote, but also team specific voting). |

Week 14 unofficial BCS Fan Poll Finalized |
|
Tuesday, 04 December 2007 |
|
The last regular season poll is finalized. The end of the regular season and the BCS fan official voters pick: #1 LSU vs. #2 Ohio State. But there were seven (7) teams that received at least one first place vote, meaning there is no consensus pick. LSU was #1 over Ohio State by just 8 points. Please read the information about the final poll. We added a record 5 official pollsters last week, and had a record day of hits and visitors to the website on BCS Selection Sunday. This resulted in an amazing 70 new users, nearly doubling the number of users that we had before the weekend. Welcome to all the new pollsters - both unofficially and officially! Unfortunately, we also set a new milestone with the first application to be rejected by the community. purplepossum was rejected by 2 votes for and 8 votes against. Official voters can participate in the Bowl Pick 'em game. Information is inside in the Official Pollster only forum area. |

Introduction
Unofficial BCS Fan Poll (and others) believes that the fans should be involved in deciding what teams are crowned national champions and given a chance for the top bowls. Why are only the head coaches, 6 computers, the random people involved with the Harris Poll and selected sports journalists allowed to make this selection? There are several million fans that can and should be allowed to participate in the BCS Rankings.
With head coaches that vote like this, giving their former teams a very undeserving 25th place vote, how serious do they take this? Would YOU vote Duke #25? Would you vote for any game on a 20-game losing streak? Still think coaches aren't biased?
Rules:
- Vote honorably.
- All newcomers must serve a minimum of 4 weeks in provisional status.*
- Once the 4 week period has passed, they must submit to become official where their 4-week voting period (or more) will be reviewed. If deemed honorable, they are then granted official pollster status.
- Any dishonorable vote is grounds to have all previous votes removed and placed back in provisional status.**
- Vote regularly.
- You must vote in the pre-season through the final champion poll.
- Miss just one week and you are back to provisional status for the rest of the season.
Notes:
- * One-time exception was granted for users who registered prior to or during the 2007 season.
- ** Errors realized after the voting has closed but before any dishonorable vote claim will be corrected and forgiven unless routine.
- All polls are public at all times.
- Put your bias aside. Seriously. (Vote Honorably).
- We will always be free.
Each individual ballot from an Official Pollster is combined in the same manner as the Coaches, AP, and Harris Poll. Each first place
vote receives 25 points, each second place vote received 24 points, third place received 23 points and so forth, until the 25th place team gets 1 point.
The points are combined and the team with the most points is #1, second most number of points is number 2 and so forth. After the end of the voting period,
and a reasonable amount of time to weed out any bad votes, the poll becomes official. You may also see the total votes involving the probationary voters
that are not counted in the official poll.
How to use:
- Goto the forums and register, if needed.
- Vote, when the voting booth is open (Sundays and Mondays).
- Comply with the rules (always).
- Spread the word! (thanks)
- We will always be free.
