NCAA 6thFan Contest

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

How is IPFW in 23rd? I didn't think they had much of a fan base.

The contest has been going on quite awhile...we just didn't know about it. So a lot of those schools have been voting for a long time. NDSU was in 2nd and IPFW in 23rd when we got into the game. Neither has moved in the last day or so. We just passed Sam Houston State to move into 44th, and I think movement up more is possible, but it will get tougher as we go. However, getting from 123rd yesterday to 44 today is a pretty nice gain!

I just spent 20 minutes voting - our voting increased 45% in the last hour - IPFW increased 48% in the same time and the Bison decreased 51% in the same time period. So IPFW definitely have a few voting fans....

Been at 44th for some time. Keep voting as we are ranked 3rd for the day.

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

Just don't get discouraged. With the effort you guys have given over the last two days, you should be able to crack the top-16 with time to spare. I wouldn't worry about any "big names". There seem to be fanbases with breadth(lots of voters) and fanbases with depth(committed voters). NDSU seems to be the closest to having both, and we've only got a couple dozen hardcore voters. Arkansas State is only in the lead because they found out about it very early in the process. There are only about a half dozen schools putting in a committed effort, and you guys are one of them as long as you don't slack off. Remember, the vote totals get zeroed out once we start the next round, so all you have to do is get to #16. (But try not to get in our half of the bracket or we'll have to kick your ass too soon. )

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

Tipped over to 37th, so now we are chasing Utah of the Pac-12...I'm closing up shop, but we will catch up with more tomorrow! Great job all you who have helped, moving from 123rd to 37th since yesterday morning. OK Hammersmith...your on!

You are not alone. I put in over 300 votes this morning, which if you (and others) were posting, shows how far we were behind Utah...because none of the Pac-12 schools were even voting (too early for them I guess). So I'm taking a short break, but we are now chasing New Mexico State of the WAC. Obviously some of the schools that got in early are quite a bit ahead of us!

I just got done putting in a 35 min session, hopefully I will be able to do another round before lights out time tonight.

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

Just passed the Aggies, moved from #36 to #35

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

Yes, and we just jumped past Gonzaga into 34th. We were a long ways away from Utah this morning, but jumping past the Aggies and Gonzaga didn't take that long. Now, of course, we have to stay ahead of those we passed, while catching up with those ahead! Next is Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

Thanks to the following posters who I know are in the game...Jackdaniel, RowdyRabbit, Goon, BigGoosie, Ring the Bells,SkippyJack,UWMandSDSU, Yanktonjack7, TK22687, BubbaJack, SiouxFallsJack, SanDakotaState, 2002Jack and NWHSD&SDSUd ! I know there may be others who haven't posted on this thread that are voting. We have moved from 123rd Friday morning to 34th Sunday morning, but it is taking more votes now to overcome the upper tier. Will appreciate anybody's help in throwing in some votes when you can!

Re: NCAA 6thFan Contest

18 spots to jump to get into the top 16 with 7.4 days to go. Average 3 spots a day from here and you've got it made. But you may have to break out of your traditional mindset and pretend to be Maryland fans for a week.
