Just so you’ll know: I’m holding off posting the crosstable until after the poll closes. There are some issues with the voting that I’m trying to resolve.
I think they’re all resolved now, but if you have a correction or a VOTE to offer, please do so before 9:00 EDT tonight.
And thanks again for playing. It’s cheap anyway! 
Here’s how things are after the poll closed:

‘0’ means did not play that week (counts as 0). Underlined name means played in the most recent week.
FYI, the annual pilgrimage to Talladega is this week, so I’ll be a day or two late posting the results next week…

Let’s hear it for the “A” names, who are a combined negative sixteen!
That’s the spirit! Thank the Fates it’s not for money!
You reckon any of us are being scouted by the AP?
For those who like to follow him Sagarin’s new numbers are out.
It’s official! Mississippi State is #1!!!
True Dat! New thread for Week 8 going up shortly…
I have been burned twice for two weeks straight by betting against the teams from the Magnolia State. No more!
But shit, Oak, you and me may realize how exceptional this is more than anybody. You’re a 'Bama fan, I’m an Auburn fan, and the winner of the freaking Egg Bowl may be the favorite to win the National Championship. It’s unreal to even type those words.
Indeed. Of course, I’m also a State fan, it’s just that most years there’s not a lot to cheer about. Kinda like being a Saints fan. One shining glorious season in 40+ years, but when it happens…how sweet it is.
So how many times does Auburn have to fucking LOSE A GODDAMN football game before Sagarin takes them off #1? Another one? Maybe 2? WTF? Hell, he’s got them ranked above the team that beat them! In what crazy statistical world does that even make fucking sense?
indeed
But on that note…
