Thanks Keith and voters! I'm impressed with the results. The eastern/western breakdown is amazingly close. It seems to me that the small differences can be explained by 1 - voters tend toward familiar teams (maine/nh east, mich/lssu west) 2 - east/west cross-over voting contains more of last year's reputation than east-voting-east or west-voting-west (BU higher from westies). Lest I go way overboard, at first glance there appears to be some "clumping" of scores in the regional rankings that doesn't appear to be present in the composite. Maybe this just shows that folks were all over the place and just the averages look good? Since we have different numbers of voters from east and west, maybe an upcoming TCHDLP* result will include average ranking?
