FINAL MCDONALD'S VOTES DELIVERED

January 23, 2012

We don't like to tease, but now is a good time to report that the final ballots have been submitted to the McDonald's All-American organizers, and the results will be announced on February 7. We voted for the top 25 players (roughly by position) and though we aren't yet allowed to release our votes, principally we can say that most of the selections correspond with our current (winter) top 25 rankings.

However, there are some top prospects ineligible for the game (fifth-year preps, for example), and we did factor in the achievements made by players during their senior seasons. The game itself tends to be ugly (let's be honest), but the distinction is very important to prospects and thus we treat the vote with respect.
