Polls like this I have a set of rules on who to vote for

1. Iowa State
2. Anyone against Iowa
3. Anyone against Baylor
4. Rest of the Big 12

given the climate I've been putting #2 as "against future Big Ten/SEC"

Voting for all new Big 12, against all new Big Ten/SEC. Not voting at all in the few others.

Not exactly sure.
I don’t do Twitter so I will just cheer you guys on, but I’m confused how we are a 10 seed on anything internet. Besides our usual voting, we invented the computer and without the computer, there would be no internet, so step aside Al Gore, we are claiming the invention of the internet.

I'm sure they just ranked football brands without thinking of # of actual real fans or especially internet nerd fans. In terms of a "football brand" 40th isn't crazy, probably about right.

Knowing our history in these, we are top 10 seed pretty easy, if not a #1 seed.

It's REALLY obvious in this latest round early voting there is new Big 12 solidarity in this voting that is driving the results. New Big 12 out to huge lead in every single one except B12vB12

The seeding was done based upon the number of twitter followers for each school's official twitter account.

Interesting. I do think 37th-40th is about the rank of our brand, attendance and tv ratings might put us just slightly higher. Overall not horrible.

If only Internet Voting Presence was the key to the scary future of college sports in terms of NIL and realignment.

Comments by tosu supporters in this poll are comedy gold.

Yeah in general a lot of these comments are "this team isn't better than this team"

So I guess we should've just had a a bracket with 64 Alabamas because Ohio State obviously isn't the best program either.

I wish cyclone fans paid for content / access and supported the AD like we show up for irrelevant internet polls.

I like the streaming threads where people talk about various piracy devices/sites out in the open. Some are shifty pirates but I think quite a few don't even know it's piracy and figure everybody else is just wasting money for no reason.

Internet polls don't cost anything to participate in. People have limits on their budgets.

Cyclones doing well as of this AM (around 8 :45 AM ET / 7:45 AM CT). Second most votes (behind TT). Ahead of osu by 27 pts.

VT has the fewest votes so far. Houston has the fewest votes of any team that is leading. KSU is the only team currently losing that has more votes than any team that is currently leading (KSU 12,433, Houston 11,213).

If we win, we will face the winner of VT / Cinci...

Currently, 9 highest vote totals are for current & future B12 teams. Other than OU, all are also future B12 teams.

Believe it or not, these polls, ALL internet 'clicks' REALLY are measured by those making the contracts. Do NOT underestimate how much information is acquired by these tactics, posts, and whatever else generates 'clicks'. That said, I'm disappointed in how many 'likes', clicks, or whatever we exhibit on Facebook or Twitter. We NEED to 'respond' on ALL internet bait. That aside, I have ambiguous names for all these channels which don't divulge any personal information.
