One more comment and I'm out. Since the survey limited you to 10 responses, the proper way to design this study would to have included every single game played by every team in a survey question pool. Then have the respondents get 10 random matchups across all teams. That way, for the most part, positive and negative fan to team bias is basically eliminated. When you clicked the poll you would have gotten something that looked like this.
1. Georgia at Texas
2. Umass at Ms. State
3. Vandy at Mizzou
4. Tennessee at Arky
5. South Carolina at Alabama
6. Auburn at Alabama
7. LSU at Florida
8. Oklahoma at Texas
9. Kentucky at Ole Miss
10 NC State at Tennessee
Would the data been harder to crunch? Yes.
Would it have been correctly randomized? Also yes.

Okay, I appreciate the tip.
I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time.

Many, many South Carolina, Vanderbilt, and Texas A&M responses were junked. All responses that had alternating wins and losses were thrown out.
So basically you threw out all of the results you didn’t like

No. I would love it if Vandy and South Carolina went 12-0, but that's not possible considering they play each other.

Yeah, this is BS. They’ll lose 1, if not 2 of these 3. Hardest SEC schedule they’ve had in years.

Should’ve known this would be a sham after you went out of your way to say how much your feelings were hurt based on people’s votes

Learn this, Horny: On the Rant, you have a skin of iron or you get chased off the board. Or you remain because you're a retard and don't get it, like Monsusta.

I for one find this poll to be scientific and now predict LSU will go undefeated.
Thanks for putting this together. Good work baw

And you just admitted you threw out results that you personally didn’t like. Sham.

Here's another point. If you're seeing invalid data for some teams, how do you know that there's not less obvious invalid data for other teams?

I thought you said you were done.
There are no hard feelings, and I appreciate the advice and will definitely implement it in future surveys, but it is getting tiring hearing all of the issues with this survey that was taken of random internet people using a free account on SurveyMonkey.

Lol, I'm trying.
I'm thinking about reposting this survey so that the discussion can be about the results and not the methodology, though.
I blame you for me spamming the board.

LSU - 12-0
You got yourself a real valid poll there, partner.

Well sure, why else would he create a sham poll, if not for fun?

I wonder why South Carolina was favored by 80% of respondents in every one of their matchups?
The same reason that LSU is 12-0.
