ZachTheZip Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 http://6thfan.ncaa.com/ We need to at least get into the top 16. Three MAC schools are already there. Vote every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 We moved up about 40 spots to 45th. There are a couple ways to vote. Sign into ncaa.com with a facebook account and then vote that way. Tweet #6thfan and #Akron in the same tweet, retweet any other tweet with that hashtag combo. You can do both to get in two votes a day. We should at least lead the MAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZips Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Keep voting. I just voted this morning (Sunday) and Akron was ranked 35th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 BG 14th, OU 15th, and UB 16th. Longwood (whoever that is) is 10th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsy Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Keep voting. I just voted this morning (Sunday) and Akron was ranked 35th. We were 41st last night, 40 after I voted tweeted and retweeted others. Type in #6thfan #Akron into the search bar and it will bring up all of those that have tweeted it. Retweeting counts. For all of the Ak-Oldies on here (I say that in a good way) and you don't have a twitter...time to join the 21st century! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Little schools like Bryant and Longwood are obviously putting a high priority on stacking the vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 losing? since the day began we've gone from 41 to 40 to 37 now 36... We dropped from 35 when I typed that. I think what you see with the leading schools is involvement from those schools' athletic marketing. Not sure why UA's isn't in on it yet.

GoZips Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I suppose that no one cares about this. The Zips slipped to 42nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I retweet all of them that come up...tweet and vote everyday. I just don't think there's enough of us :/ It's not that. The fans just aren't voting properly to get their votes recorded. Only one tweet/retweet per twitter account per day counts. Best way to vote is to to tweet once, then vote on the site using Facebook. That's two votes, and that's all you can do unless you happen to have multiple accounts for one of those.

If you just click on the "vote now" option you can vote an unlimited amount of times per day and you don't need to log in to ncaa.com, google plus, twitter or facebook to do so. Obviously you have no chance of winning the individual prize if you don't log in to one of those accounts at some point, but you don't have to log into anything to contribute to your school's vote total. I'm sure that's how a school like Arkansas State is currently leading the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even have to clear my cache. I just checked it out earlier today. I entered the school name in the search box, clicked on the school, the voting pop up came up, I clicked on "vote now" and it required me to enter a captcha, I subsequently entered it, clicked on submit, closed the pop up and searched for the school again to see if it permitted multiple votes, which it did. Although, I did click on the "vote now" before creating a login of any sort, so perhaps that explains it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Sounds like a lot of work.. Is anyone even going to know who wins this anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's hard to get excited about spending valuable time participating in a competition to determine who's the best cheater. Seriously, these "contests" have nothing at all to do with producing a legitimate winner. They're all about driving additional traffic to websites. The more hits they get on their website, the higher rate they can charge advertisers. Those who spend a lot of time casting extra votes are essentially working with no compensation to make more money for the folks running the websites.

It's not about knowing who wins, it's about winning a scholarship for the university. Goodness knows UA could use the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Anyone voting? The Zips have fallen to 48th place. Apparently it's not worth it, since it NCAA.com is clearly just doing this for the advertising revenue. It's not like UA needs additional scholarship money, anyway.

Dave in Green Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Look who most of the leading schools are -- smaller schools desperate for some form of recognition. Most of the bigger schools would be on top if they gave a crap. I'd rather be with the big schools that don't give a crap than the smaller schools desperately seeking recognition.
