That's a pretty good looking poll...could quibble about a few spots here/there, but top 25 is pretty solid. What always floors me is these things:

Agreed -for the most part a good poll.

Sacred Heart is likely to be the best in the NEC - probably top 35, so them getting votes is not out of question.
