It seems like there are also quite a few trolls voting against Cosmo. Honestly, how could a non-Wisconsin fan legitimately choose the Badger over Cosmo?

I heard an email went out to BYU alumni about an hour before the voting ended.

I was shocked. I never went back when we were down by about 1 whole percentage point with 20 minutes left and 54K people had voted. There were TWICE as many votes in the BYU vs WI contest than in the WKU vs OU. Twice! How in the world in those last 20 minutes, after this had been neck and neck for over a day did we end up winning 54% to 46%? Where did all of those BYU fans come from at the last minutes? Absolutely none of the other contests came anywhere near those numbers of voters. Incredible. We fricken beat Boston College, Duke, Maryland, Michigan State, Penn State and finally Wisconsin (hello Big10).

I was tweeting and Facebooking every BYU account I could find the last hour. Others were doing the same. I was even hitting BYU alumni chapters that I could find.

The final will go for three days. We are down early but this one has a long ways to go. Organize the forces to get the vote out.

If we can get 35,000 votes like the last round, we can win this thing. It is 3 days instead of 1 so we might have to do more but it is very doable.

The one thing that can trip us up is if people hold on their votes until close to midnight tomorrow. Because actually this poll closes at noon tomorrow!

The poll closes in 5.5 hours. This really favors the east coast.

Cosmo is falling further behind.
