I haven't seen a thread about this, and seeing as how we're currently in 49th place I don't think there has been one.
College Gameday is having a contest to shoot a College Gameday commercial on a college campus this summer. The school with the most votes wins. Michigan is currently getting smoked and is in 49th place.
So yeah, go vote.
bots
No.
Leave the bots out of it until someone else uses them. We can win this straight up. No need for a tarnished victory.

Hey, at least now we know we can at least beat Florida because of their lack of a Computer Science program...

I agree with you, but it appears that Nebraska has already pulled out the bots. They have 11,000 votes already. For reference, almost everyone else in the B1G has less than 1000.
Voted 2x
In the time it took me to vote twice, the votes doubled from 70-ish to 140-ish...nice work team
With florida cutting their CS program
they will never be able to win an ESPN fan vote again!
Warning: My imagination is inefficient.
Just voted three times.

The fact that NS State is first, leads me to believe nobody knows about this yet. We will come out on top. THIS IS MICHIGAN FERGODSAKES!
HEY! You there!
Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the heads up. Already up to 23rd from 43rd in about twenty minutes. The Michigan difference!
Boom, voted. I'm glad they
Boom, voted. I'm glad they tied this to Facebook; makes it much harder to hack, so we'll have a (more) fair competition this time.

I don't know about that.
I typed 3 of my email addresses and a couple of random ones, all of which it accepted.
Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales.

Michigan in 21st. Keep going fellas. Nebraska just leapfrogged everybody and is in first with 8k+votes.

It's great we jumped from
It's great we jumped from 49th, but someone at NC State and Nebraska either has nothing to do, or bots are already involved. They both have 10,000 plus

I'm very computer-capable, I just can't stand anything that requires facebook to access. For some reason, little facebook icons at the end of articles and logins using facebook get on my nerves, and I try to avoid them like the plague.

It seems like whoever is in
It seems like whoever is in the lead now will probably win. Not enough people will connect with their FB accounts for fear of unwanted spam, posts in his/her name, etc. I would think they should just start over.
While this is another stupid ESPN gimmick poll, this one actually has a tangible benefit as it would be an opportunity to show off the university.

Yep, that's that... NC State
Yep, that's that... NC State and Nebraska botted up to around 40k votes each before ESPN made the poll Facebook-voting only to end the bots. Now no other schools have a chance at catching up, so NC State it will be.
EDIT: Bots still work perfectly... Texas A&M racked up 80,000 votes immediately after I posted this.

You can still vote multiple times even though its Facebook-voting only. Just open up a new incognito window every time, and log into your facebook count again. I just voted like 10 times.
Even though they are making you log into facebook, they clearly aren't tracking the votes through facebook...pretty dumb.
(No subject)
TAMU
Texas A&M brought out the bots. They have 228,000ish votes. Someone break out the MGobots.
Practice makes perfect. Unless you're the Buckeyes. Then you have to cheat.
Ha, NOW bots are broken; the
Ha, NOW bots are broken; the numbers have nearly frozen, changing as slowly as they should be for a Facebook-tied poll. Hopefully ESPN cleans up the obvious botting so that they didn't just effectively freeze A&M into first.
