I have a co-worker who is a huge Linfield fan and this is the site that she sent me...with the link to vote attached. It seems, from the discussion, that it's real. But somehow it still seems "fake" to me.

I think this is just to get people on the ballot. So people like Reggie Bush and Maurice Drew are most likely already on the ballot. I think this is for fans who want their lesser known players on the ballot. But I'm just not sure.
Just might be interesting for teams like Stanford, OSU, Oregon, etc, to get their people on the ballot. Not that it probably makes a difference, except for team recognition.
