Whether they vote that they like or dislike you it is very likely that they know you exist and follow some of what your team does whether it is from an angle of hope for something good or for a hope of despair. Either way if they are voting for you in either of those categories it means you are living rent free in their head. You are relative in their caring....they either care to root for you...or they care to root against you....
So basically a vote for BYU either way in the positive or negative show you are moving the needle (which advertisers will notice as well). If you are not getting votes either way it likely means you are irrelevant.
So if you take the survey - and a team or conference does't mean anything to you you won't vote for them...for good or bad...right?
I find this interesting...so far with 5191 responses (survey is still open so things will change) below is my "relative" numbers which is a combination of a team or conferences likes/dislikes (respect) divided by total votes in both categories for a percentage. Higher number means you are on others radar more than low numbers...
