The poll is for the Game of the Week. Milan beat Carleton 41-0 less than 2 weeks ago. saline and Bedford played a vey close game when they met on the field earlier this season. If the Game of the Week is supposed to be the best matchup between two schools then I would have to conclude that the Saline-Bedford game should be the Game of the Week....sorry Big Red fans, I call 'me as I see 'me.

Well...apparently 518 people ALSO thought that a Milan/airport matchup would be a great game just as much as the Saline/Bedford game. The people have spoken...and then some!!

They closed this poll on several occasions today. I took photos of them taking votes away from milan / carleton 13 at one time 5 another. Im convinced AA.com did not want that duo winning game of the week.

We're calling it a split decision and sending reporters to both games.

Hi Big Red- Not sure what happened there with the poll as our system is pretty straight forward and doesn't allow us to remove votes, essentially what you see is what we see. My only guess is that there was some issues with the refresh time in the results and how our third party system was updating. Please feel free to email me the screenshots so we can look into the matter for future purposes. Thanks!

Milan and Carleton have a way smaller population base than Saline and Bedford and STILL tied for votes, showing more passion per capita - so the Milan-Carleton game should definitely win!
