I think that's because why the voting aid is great to have, it doesn't have teams close to the top 25 anymore like it used to, so some people just vote for the same 25 teams each week, just in different order. Most will check LD for other possible teams to vote for, but not all, they just look at who's on the voting aid.

Very true albeit upsets do shake the boat a bit but for teams trying to crack the Top 25 it's especially difficult from the outside looking in to make noise if you don't have a pretty polished track...Instinctively we look at team and just their overall ratings so we dont give them much credit...Easy to jump to conclusions when teams have Grades instead of seeing their production on the field...

Also stats don't really help anyone's effort unless everyone has all their games in on time...How do you factor in someone moving up the rankings when their playing a Week 2 game near the conference championship games...Lots of variables to consider and weigh

I just meant more for when you have several teams that are 7-3, 6-3, right outside the rankings, while one team might stay in at 4-3, just because they were ranked the week before so they will appear again on the voting aid. At least that's my opinion, were several teams i had in my top 20 (Tulsa, Kansas State, Colorado) that I think are getting overlooked, because they didn't start the season ranked.

I know you put alot of work into doing the aid also, trust me, just noting how we don't see much movement with teams at the bottom dropping out as one might expect sometimes, and wondering if that's a possible reason.

Totally see where you're coming from...It would be cool to have a 'Bubble Watch' or something to give voters more tools for making informed decisions...I can imagine a ton of great work already goes into these polls and to be quite honest if the current Voting Aid wasn't there or even the previous weeks Top 25, the polls I would submit would be a total joke and way off haha

i used to include that, but figured people just went to LD to look.

...will update in future

I have been keeping an eye on the Tulsas, KSUs and Colorados as well. Also the Horny Frogs. I try to be as fair and thorough as possible

I'd appreciate that

I print list off then pull up league daddy and figure who I want to drop out, and who deserves to be in... on average I have been dropping and adding 2 teams or less a week with some crazy upsets latley.
