One vote. He came in second....by...one....vote.
Quick update, here's the vote totals and breakdown:
1. Darius Jackson, DE, Jacksonville State: 29-18-20-11-5-304
2. Brett Taylor, LB, Western Illinois: 32-20-12-9-9-303
Those numbers are: 1st place votes, 2nd place votes, 3rd, 4th, 5th, total points (A first-place vote was worth five points, a second-place vote four points, a third-place vote three points, a fourth-place vote two points and a fifth-place vote one point.)
Taylor actually got 32 1st place votes (to Jackson's 29), 20 2nd place votes (to Jackson's 18), but Jackson had 20 3rd place votes (to Taylor's 12) and 11 4th place votes (to Taylor's 9).

Somehow 1st place votes should be worth more than just 1 pt more than 2nd place.ST_Lawson wrote: Fri Jan 05, 2018 10:06 pm One vote. He came in second....by...one....vote.

So you are telling me some idiot didn't vote for brett great job by coach fisher to go with him.
Yeah, this ^^^^^. Because fewer people think you deserve places 3, 4, or 5, and more of them think you belong 1 or 2 you lose. Dumbest thing I've ever heard.vatusay wrote: Sat Jan 06, 2018 8:22 am Wow. What a joke. Congrats to other guy tho, I guess. More third place votes gets you first? Laughable.
