Its time for the first week's blogpoll. This poll is being run by March to Madness, and right now we have eleven total participants in the poll. Other participating blogs besides MTM and ASOB are:
- NCAA Hoops Today
- SEC Hoops: The Good, The Bad, and the Dirty
- March Madness All Season
- Rush The Court
- College Hoops Heaven
- Tar Heel Mania
- Plissken at the Buzzer
- A Pudge Is A Sandwich
- Storming the Floor
If you've never visited these great college basketball blogs, be sure to do so.
Below, you will find the final aggregated tally. To get a look at everyone's ballot, you can go to this link for the public spreadsheet.
Keep in mind that this is just week one, and every voter is looking at things a little differently. There is no well-defined system for evaluating who goes where, everyone has their own method to madness.
