A. Preseason ballots are due on or before September 1st.
B. Weekly ballots are due every Monday at noon Eastern time ... unless there is a Monday night game, in which case ballots will be due on Tuesday noon for that week only. If you are going to be a little bit late (say a couple of hours) but still want to vote, then please send me a PM, and if possible, I'll wait for your ballot before posting the poll results.
C. We will have a final ballot that will be due after the BCS title game. There will be no other ballots between the end of the regular season and the end of the bowl season.
D. I will post the preseason poll results on September 2nd, regular season poll results on every Monday (or Tuesday) during the week, and final poll results after the BCS title game.
E. Last year, many pollsters shared their ballots (and their voting rationales) in the various weekly poll threads. For what it's worth, your ballots will be kept confidential by me, but if you would like to share them, then please feel free to do so - it makes for interesting discussion. Even if you do decide to post your ballot, please also send it to me by PM.
F. Please vote for 25 teams in each ballot.
G. Please do not "split" votes (for example, voting for Alabama and Ohio State as co-number ones).
H. Please check your ballot to make sure that you haven't voted for the same team twice (that happened quite a bit last year) or omitted a team that you wanted to vote for.
I. I reserve the right to reject any ballot for nonconformance. I am not going to be overly technical about this, but if you submit a ballot with only twelve teams, and two of those are duplicates, then I'll probably pitch it.
J. Please send your ballots to me by PM, if at all possible. If you would prefer to submit your ballots by email, then let me know, and we'll make arrangements.
K. There is no requirement that you be objective, but objectivity will make for a "better" poll.
L. If you would like to be a pollster this year, then please let me know before September 1st. If you would like to drop out for any reason at any time during the season, then please let me know, or I'll keep sending you PM's nagging you for your ballot.
M. You do not need any expertise or experience to vote in the BP Poll ... which makes us just like the AP.
