Week 2 Fan Poll Underway

Revamped the poll page and found a script that works for showing the visitors IP address. By adding Sitemeter to the page the IP address can be verified quickly. The Cheats are very easy to find and delete.

Wikipedia data on the USA Today, CNN, ESPN basketball poll indicates the voting for the top 25 teams is done by 31 college coaches from around the country. Wonder what chance the 13 varsity coaches would do that. Slim and None.

12/23 -- So far we have had only two votes which required pitching. The fanboy vote that placed Pekin as the best area team was completely deleted as having no value. Also had one voter not fill out the required numbers. Have to suspect they were attempting to vote again.

The 12/23 results will be posted here and on the PJStar basketball forum. The PJStar "pro" selection will be posted here for comparison and comment. Add your observations and comments if you wish. No username or password required.
