OK, there is already something fishy going on with the numbers. The 4:25 results credited 8,821 votes at that time. Based upon common poll tabulation (5+4+3+2+1) there should be a total of 132,315 points. Adding the point totals for each band together there are 133,650. 1,335 votes more than there should be.

At 4:30 below are the updated totals. Now crediting 8,907 votes (133,605 expected points). 134,940 actual points...still 1,335 votes more than there should be. There are two possible explanations for this either there are 89 votes not being credited but were tabulated OR someone has manipulated the totals by that number of points before 4:25. If it is the former, the number of extra points should remain constant...the latter means someone is manipulating the numbers somehow. If it is the latter, I would suspect someone with a JSU interest, considering the disproportionate number of votes they generated in the previous round.

2. UAB 27836
3. USA 24386
4. ASU 23998

Even though this poll is nothing more than a beauty contest...it will be interesting to see how the numbers go.

Clearly, now that Alabama & Auburn are gone, they just want to get the poll over with

JSU has the better band. Be happy that we will end up #2. It is good.

I really feel like a "hats off" is in order?

JSU has been a solid DCI-caliber program for a long time.
