Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Because we don't have enough ranking polls on this board yet, I want to do one the same style as the media day coaches poll. 10 points for a 1st place vote down to 1 point for a last place vote. I'm curious to see how the fan outlook on the league compares to the coaches' point of view.

Follow the link to the Google Sheet and fill in your preseason rankings.

A few notes:
-Rank in normal order- put your Top team in 1, your bottom team in 10 (not in reverse order).
-My example just has teams listed alphabetically - it's not my actual rankings, so don't freak out. I'm not picking Villanova 9th and 10th.
-Spell each school's name the same way it's shown in the example, otherwise your votes won't be tallied by the ranking formula.
-Use your own rankings, don't let other people's votes influence you.

A couple more notes:

-please rank all 10 teams. The point system doesn't work properly with partial ballots.
-while I can't require it, signing your ballot with your HLOH username would be appreciated

I entered mine. Hope I did it right.

Lmao. I knew which one was gtmo's before he added his username.

I entered mine as well but this probably should have been done with a Google Form so people can't edit other's entries.

haha I've participated on more than a few boards over the years and this one never fails to crack me up

Now that there's some votes in, I've unhid the "Ranking" tab. The table refreshes automatically as new votes are added, so feel free to check back and see where things stand.

Here's how things stand as of 9:40 ET this morning.

Rank Team Points
1 Villanova 146
2 Xavier 129
3 Creighton 122
4 Seton Hall 97
5 Georgetown 90
6 Marquette 56
7 Butler 55
8 Providence 32
9 St. John's 31
10 DePaul 20

There's a pretty clear gap between the top 5 and bottom 5, but that's also taking into account that 2 people only ranked 4 teams, leaving the poll unbalanced. I'll leave some time for them to complete their rankings but if that doesn't happen I'm going to remove them for balance.

You can write on other's picks... Someone was writing on mine while I was still moving them around... This could be really funny!

That was me and I wrote it on the side because you filled it all up and had Seton Hall twice, one of which was spelled Seaton Hall.

I can lock the already made picks so nobody can edit them if you guys want. I'm not sure if you guys can lock your own picks or not, someone should try it. Just highlight your picks, right click, and you should have the option to "protect range." Then in the popup bar on the side, choose set permissions- then select only you and hit done.
