1982 PRELIMINARY RESULTS:
Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still determining what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.
We have completed the first 35 years thus far.
For “1982,” a Preliminary Vote with close to 100 players whose playing career ended by 1976. We are also following the structure, where players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.
Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.
A week later, the voters will be asked to select 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and then choose five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process every week until we catch up to the current year.
Please note that a significant change occurred “years ago,” allowing voters to submit fewer than the allotted spots.
30 Votes took place.

We also had a separate vote where we asked the following:
Should the Top Vote Getter in Coaches/Contributors need 50% to enter?
Currently, the top vote getter for Coach/Contributor only enters if he receives at least 50% of the vote. This has resulted in many nominees cancelling each other out. This vote is to determine whether the top Coach/Contributor needs 50% or not.
The result was 19 yes, 10 no, and 1 incomplete.
As such, the highest Coach/Contributor will enter the Hall until further notice.
Next week, we will announce the Semi-Finalists for the 1982 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project.
