Hello all,

What a great start to the college football season. Games from Thursday night to Monday night. It doesn't get much better than that.

As always, the poll is open to everyone, all that I ask is that once you decide to submit a poll, please submit one every week for consistency's sake. Also, I ask that you put some kind of delimiter, preferably a period, after each of the ranks. Ex:

1 Ohio State - bad
1. Ohio State - good

This helps the parser out, so I don't have to manually edit those submissions. Submissions are due in by 5pm Central, Thursday Sept. 7th.

Here is how last week's poll fared:

Cartman,

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by the delimeter? Should every team have something after to designate something? What does the parser understand?

Cartman,

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by the delimeter? Should every team have something after to designate something? What does the parser understand?

A delimiter in this instance is simply a character after the place in the poll. This would be with no delimiter:

1 Ohio State
2 Texas
3 USC

This is with a period as the delimiter:

1. Ohio State
2. Texas
3. USC

or with a parenthese as the delimiter

1) Ohio State
2) Texas
3) USC


The script I have looks for one or two numbers and a space, and removes them and the following space before loading them into the database. If there is just a number with no character, then I have to go back and manually remove the numbers.

1. Texas
2. USC
