SEOMoz is holding voting to see who gets to go up against the search engines in SMX Search Bowl 2008.
Right now, I'm in first place.
If I win, I will be massacred by the likes of Matt Cutts.
So please go
here (Polldaddy Poll) and vote for someone else.

He'll be fine, people. Vote for him anyways. =D
(NOTE: I'm also taking bets on the inevitable Cutts vs. Lurie showdown. The line is at 9:5 Cutts because of Ian's current lack of confidence.)

I'm being accused of false modesty. So, here's the whole story:
When I heard I'd been nominated for Search Bowl, I sent an e-mail to my staff saying "Hey, this might be fun, vote for me".
Then I looked at the list of other SEOs. Too late.
I have no business hopping up on stage with the likes of Aaron Wall, Andy Beal and other gurus.
It's hubris. I'll be struck down for stepping into the Pantheon.

Too late! I voted for you! Wish I could make it to watch, I hope someone will video tape it!
