I thought we had it and North Carolina comes from down 51 to 49 in last 10 minutes with bot-like votes and takes it by a nose. That sucks!!

I demand a recount! LOL.

It was a photo finish that we can not see the result. Ended 50-50. The difference could be a few votes or up towards 600.

I was watching UNC effort's. We put out so much more content and effort then they did. What they had was a twitter account with a million followers.

Someone posted that based on the numbers they released before the championship matchup and then subtracting that number from the final vote tally BYU had, that the final vote was deadlocked exactly 50/50.

So in the end, Fox Sports thought giving the UNC billboard was in their best interests. Even though BYU had WAY more total votes in each round.


BYU PER W/L Since 1972: 432-76 (.850)

When Fox calculated the vote total they gave each of us exactly 50% of the votes. I guess they don't have access to the actual number. When the poll closes Twitter should show it to a tenth of a percent. Twitter used to show that but after last round they changed to make it harder to know how many votes needed to be purchased.

Someone determined that we had lost by about 600 votes.
