NCAA Cover Vote: Sweet Sixteen

[SmoothPancakes]

Navy is currently leading ND 550-410, but obviously it's very early. They might benefit from the timing as I would guess there is some Notre Dame backlash due to the Te'o story, even though ND wasn't complicit in the faux/catfish girlfriend situation.

Yeah, I mean Navy does have a chance. I've seen postings on the Navy Football, Navy Athletics, US Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation facebook pages, and even a posting by Commander Marks on the official United State Naval Academy facebook page in the past day or two.

So Naval Academy personnel are doing everything they can to get the word out on the various academy and Navy affiliated facebook pages. Will it help? We'll see. Going head to head with Notre Dame though, the Irish will no doubt get more than their fair share of votes by people. Hopefully Navy will get enough, and Notre Dame won't take many from the Mids, that Navy can at least sneak through to the round of 8.

So, one readily apparent problem with the poll .... the way Facebook makes it, when you have a poll with more than 3 choices, it shows the first three choices and then makes you click a "____ more" button to get to the rest of the option. It is very, very obvious that people aren't clicking for the extra choices.

First three entries (the ones that show without clicking "____ more"): 65k votes between the three (23k, 21k and 21k)
Other 13 schools, combined: 56k votes.

You can't tell me that Alabama, A&M and Michigan have that much better fanbases.

Yep, I realized that as a problem clear back in the first round. And with them ranking the teams 1st to 16th in order of finish from round 2, that means Alabama, A&M and Michigan are basically gonna keep advancing because they'll always be the "always visible" options and some people either won't care or won't realize to know that there is the "more" button to vote for the other teams.
