• Selections for a 1st, 2nd and 3rd team All- Conference selection column. (Mid August)
• Ranking the Top 3 QB’s in Conference. (August)
• Possible weekly Top 25 - G5 poll??? *Two Pollsters from each conference. The voters will need to be contributors to the “G5 Blog on ODU Fan Forum” and a member of CSNbbs board. This will enable us to send ballots to be tabulated and returned by a specific date. (Set up prior to Monday Aug 4, 2014) Wee plan to have a pre-top 25 posted before the start of the season. First Pre Poll will debut Tuesday Aug 19, 2014 and we will post a new Top 25-G5 each week on Tuesdays.

Thanks for reading.

The following recommendations have been submitted from other members, any suggests are welcome. You can post or PM us.

* We may have more pollsters, we would like to haveequal numbers from each G5 conference.

Thanks Oldtimer

RE: ODU blog with G5 Top 25 looking for polsters!
At the present time, I have several conference members of different boards that have expressed interest to become a voter for the upcoming weekly Top 25 G5 poll (football season). I hope I made it clear to those interested, to become a pollster he/she will need to be a contributor to the blog as well, even if his post are short and only once a month. I have an AAC csnbbs member, for lack of a better way to describe contributors, so, in the future I will refer to them as "Pollsters". He/she asked that he remain anonymous. I have assured him and others that we will not reveal members screen names and they can use a different pen name for blogs (not their csnbbs posting name.

My original thoughts were to have two voters from each G5 conference. I currently have larger numbers from some and 1 from a few. One person recommended that the more pollsters I allow to vote the more accurate the results will be. His/her statement was, even If they skew their vote to elevate their team, they will still be submitting 25 teams and it will force the results to be more accurate. Anyway, if anyone has an interested PM me so we can add you to the list.

Thanks for reading.

If anyone would like to join us and become a future pollster, we welcome any and all interested.

We have had a few people from different schools /conference asks how we started and selected the teams for the Great G5 Top 25. So this is how it started….

The Great G5 Top 25 is not just my assessment of the teams. At the time we started this blog we decided to assemble a list of all G5 teams in the AAC, MWC, CUSA, SBC and MAC. We also added BYU, Navy and Army. We asked the 6 people who started the blog to vote on a preseason Top 25. Again, if any of the contributors showed a bias, I am sure it is because they are a fan of a particular program. After we had a first draft of 31 teams (4 teams tied at 28-31), we actually gave a schedule of opponents for the 31 and asked everyone to predict a win/loss for every game on their schedule. After everyone made their selections we compiled the list. There may be a dramatic difference in the final outcome at the end of the season, but we had to have a starting point. We are now adding addition members to the Pollster/contributors group.

We are up to 14 people, many more from different schools and conferences. We hope this will neutralize any biases. We all understand how that works. Again we would encourage you or any others that would like to participate to join. It is a good way to be an advocate for your team. We would like to have an ongoing Top 25 for the season, starting with a preseason poll and we will end the poll at the conclusion of bowl season.

Thanks for reading.

Pollsters for the Great G5 Football Top 25 (Coming in August)


I want to thank everyone that has responded about become Pollsters. There have been a number of suggestions, and after a discussion with a few of the original members we have decided to give a guideline that may open the poll up to a few individuals that have expressed interest to become a Pollster. The criticism was they did not feel they had time to contribute to the blog with a column or they already are involved with another blog(s). Anyone that has already been excepted will be grandfathered in as Poll members.

Guidelines
1) Must be a registered member of CSNbbs.com (any board, SBC, MWC, MAC, CUSA, AAC)
2) Have a minimum number of post on CSNbb.com of 100 plus.
3) Will be expected to evaluate information that is shared and vote in a timely fashion.
4) Anyone that misses two consecutive poll votes will be removed from the list.
5) They will not be required to contribute to the ODU Fan Forum blog.

After looking at the interest and the main concern from a few, we decided to drop the requirement to blog.

We are looking for members from the MWC. We have very good representation from a handful of schools, but we would like a larger variety of advocates for many more schools. We would love to have 4 , 5 or more from each G5 school, we will not limit anyone if they meet the other guidelines.

Thanks for reading.

Branding the new Five Conference Top 25 Poll

We need your assistance!
Please Vote
This is a work in progress (the poll). Before we launch the new top 25 poll in August we are asking for your assistance. We are asking members of the boards from the Sun Belt, American, Mid American, Mountain West and Conference USA teams to assist us with the development of this new Poll. Recently we had a meeting with several media outlets in an attempt to have them pick up the poll for national exposure. The meeting was very fruitful and we came away with lots of suggestions and recommendations. The number one comment that surfaced was the name of the poll. Our goal is to brand the poll to achieve positive national attention and exposure. We met with several groups from school administrators, sports information professionals and marketing executives for recommendations.

After digesting the input from those meetings and a few other individuals, we humbly appeal to the loyal and dedicated fans that post on the boards for help. The cumulative collection of knowledge and wisdom that is shared from the five conferences has some of the most knowledgeable fans in the country and I hope everyone will take a moment to send us your opinion! After many hours of deliberation from board representatives, School administrators and a few media sources, we narrowed the selections down to nine.

Please take one moment to give us your choice and the one you feel will best represent the five conferences. * Survey ends Saturday June 10, 2014 - 9:00 pm.

We will post the survey on all five boards and the ODU Fan Forum. The results will be posted June 10, for a runoff. (The runoff will end June 14, 9:00 pm).

Thanks

RE: ODU blog with G5 Top 25 looking for polsters!
I would like to thank any and all MWC board members for joining to become a pollster in the new poll. I have to admit the poll that is NOW on the blog "The Great G5 Top 25" countdown, was originally voted on by five people, myself, four CUSA members and an ECU fan, three were from ODU and another school. This goes back eight weeks ago, the blog has Metamorphisized into something we did not intend or expect.

We now have over 100 people planning to take part in the NEW weekly poll to début in August and have pollsters from all five conferences from across the country. We have over 300 hits a day that view the blog and currently have many different aspects other than just the ODU blog. We are looking at options of breaking the poll off to a separate blog and revamp just to better serve the five Conference (SBC, AAC, MWC, MAC and CUSA). I do appreciate everyone’s participation from the AAC and would like to invite others to become a part.

As I have said to others we will never disclose any participants or voters information on the blog or any board(s).

We are always looking for assistance to get the word out about information concerning the MWC and member schools. I have had people suggest a TOP G5 QB Poll, Preseason All conference team and other blogs. We are looking for someone to do a Survey (always a week ahead for the weekly game to have a feature "The Game of the Week in G5" and the same for each conference, example "The Game of the Week in the MWC". If any of those interest anyone to help or assist with or take the controls of that blog... that would be great. If you just want to do your own thing that is fine as well.

Again I appreciate any and all help I can get, it has exploded and went over my abilities to handle by myself a few weeks ago. Just let me know.

Respectfully
