    Don't forget to vote.

    3G still in 6th with 4% of the vote. At this rate no problem reaching the next round. I am assuming they will do it the same way as last year although I can't find it in the details.

    24 of the 48 coaches advance to Round 2 which assures their Charity of $7,500.

    16 of the 24 remaining coaches advance to Round 3 which assures their Charity of $10,000.

    4 of the final 16 coaches advance to the Final 4 which assures their Charity of $15,000.

    The leading vote getter among the Final 4 wins $100k for his Charity.

    IIRC 3G made to the Final 4 in his 1st year and made it to the 3rd round (Round of 16) the last 2 years. So WCH has banked $35,000 in the previous 3 years. It appears that our base of support has solidly formed and perhaps plateaued at the Round of 16 level. I don't really seeing that changing and catching the 3 Big 10 guys that are in double figure percentages certainly seems out of reach.

        I will vote to help see that Marshall makes it as far as he can, but, frankly, I don't understand why Infiniti doesn't just call this the Ohio St/Purdue/Michigan Coaches Charity Challenge.

        It's a forgone conclusion that one of these 3 will win. This is a horrible format. Past overall winners should have been eliminated from all future Challenges. One would have thought they would have figured that out after Matta won the first 3 years in a row. Super large universities have a huge advantage and it's got to be getting to the point where anybody outside of those 3 schools are a little pissed at Infiniti on this "rigged" challenge.

        Don't give me the "all the good they are doing" shtich either. @SHOCKvalue: has covered that quite well.

          I was looking at the list. No Bill Self. Maybe someone thought the Lawrence Toupee Refurbishment Center was not a worthy cause.

              I probably won't be voting anymore. Everyone else will have to take up the slack. I voted the first day of the Challenge, but every day since, it always says, "You have already voted today." I even skipped a day to make sure I wasn't voting again too soon. I've tried 3 different browser with the same result on each. So maybe my vote is being automatically entered each day.

                Same thing happen to me today. 2 different e-mail addresses.

                    Still telling me I have already voted today when I have not. Perhaps the fix is in.

                        Finally allowed me to vote after 3 days of the same. Now it looks like he has dropped to 7th place

                          McDermott passed him. Unacceptable.

                            Same problem for me the last three days. I even went to InPrivate window with another email address and it said I'd already voted.

                              Keep in mind that the Coaches' Challenge, much like love, is a marathon, not a sprint. As long as 3G makes it to the next round, the Wichita Children's Home receives more money.

                                Ditto here. I wonder how the vote was impacted by this. No way of knowing whether it was isolated to 3G or a broad-based issue.

                                Still he should be okay into Round 2. Round 1 runs through 2:00 pm CT on January 22nd. Hopefully, the site will allow us to keep voting from here on out.
