Indiana's helmets? Really? This is like deciding between Adele and Kate Upton in a swim suit competition.

and yet again
It just showed what boredom plus paranoia will do for ya. Anytime someone puts up one of these online fan polls -- whether it be just votes, or for making modest donations -- and indicates UM is losing to [insert name of any school anywhere], MGoBlog users rush in superior numbers to right the wrong and ensure victory. It's because we have nothing better to do, and because we can't bear the thought of losing.
And, yes, I voted in each round. Stirring comeback to beat the Hawkeyes in the sem-final round! .... egads, what have I become???

People questioning the validity of an online poll?
I can't believe that's even a question. No online poll is valid and pretty much any one of significance is always altered by tampering or single blogs/fanbases descending on the website. No online poll is of any use

Another comment
All – I assure you there is no “fixing” or “rigging” going on in this tournament. I mean, why would we have Ohio State, the conference’s biggest fan base, go out in the second round? Doesn’t make sense. Instead, it’s likely the result of proud and hardcore Michigan fans linking on blogs (mgoblog.com, a high-traffic site, is one example) and getting word out on other social media outlets to vote for the Wolverines and against their biggest challengers (OSU, PSU). I know other schools used social media, as well, but it doesn’t appear to have been to the level of Michigan fans.
(Emphasis mine)

Nothing like it
Nothing like seeing fans getting absolutely pissed off to the point of ruining their day because they lost in the semi-finals of the 18th best helmet tournament in the last 5 years to be hosted by the BTN. Honestly, I think they have this same poll once every four months or so.

Runaway
Currently it is 77% - 23% Michigan.
But, if Indiana came back in one evening from a 90-10 deficit, they must be bringing on the bots.

I am just soooo excited to come out victorious in this prestigious online poll establishing that our football accessory is better than the other teams we play. A win would be right up there with my fondest UM memories including the day I graduated and being at the 1998 Rose Bowl. What a special thing to be a part of.

OT
Sorry, I know this is OT, but I'm on my iPhone and can't start my own thread to ask... I was wondering if anyone has done a free trial on 247sports before and what their experience was like? They're offering a free membership until January, but I guess what I'd like to know is if I cancel right then, will I be charged anything? i.e. give me 6 months for free, but still charge me from that point until next May/June rolls around. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Usually with "Free Trial Memberships"...
...companies take your credit card info. and just start automatically charging u the monthly fees immediately after the free trial expires. The theory is that after the trial, a large majority of people either: (i) like the service and want to keep; (ii) forgot about the service and ignore the charges; or (iii) are too lazy to take the affirmative steps necessary to cancel the service. If you get hit with any charges u can file a slamming complaint and dispute any unauthorized charges. Don't know about 247 policies specifically...but odds are u will like the service and this will be a nonissue at end of trial.
