Pre-Pre-Pre-Preseason 2012 Blogpoll Ballot
It is way too damn early to rank teams for the 2012 season, but the makers of the blogpoll want to make this thing year-round, so here is your first 2012 preseason blogpoll ballot. Another will be up after signing day, but for now, here is a way too early projection for 2012: <!-- SB Nation...
2011 College Football Final BlogPoll Top 25: The Top Five
We’re clear on the ground rules. We’ve identified the also-rans. We’ve counted down from No. 25 to No. 16, and from No. 15 to No. 6. All that now remains, therefore, is for me to unveil the whole poll and explain the top five. Here now, I give you my final 2011 BlogPoll ballot, which has been set...
2011 College Football Final BlogPoll Top 25: Nos. 25 Through 16
We’ve established the ground rules (albeit not without some controversy, though we have covered this ground before) and eliminated the also-rans, so now it is time to begin looking at the teams who made the grade, starting with No. 25 and working our way up to No. 1: 25. Southern Miss. Golden...
A Belated Explanation of My Final Regular Season BlogPoll Ballot
I promised I would explain my BlogPoll ballot, and it certainly appears that an explanation is in order, now that I have won the Straight Bangin’ Award and finished first in the "swing" category. Accordingly, here are my reasons for ranking the teams as I did: I trust it is utterly...
College Football BlogPoll Ballot (Week 14): I'm Going to be More Popular in Idaho Than in Alabama This Week
One of the many interesting things about this time of year is that, although the BlogPoll deadline is the same as it is any other week, the need for immediacy otherwise is absent, as there is no upcoming game for which to prepare. That being the case, I have elected to present this week’s top...
College Football BlogPoll Ballot (Week 13): SEC Homer Edition
Honestly, with everything I have on my plate this week, I would’ve simply eschewed casting a BlogPoll ballot this time around, but duty is the sublimest word in the English language, and besides, Jman781 would never let me hear the end of it if I deprived him of his weekly good luck ritual and the...
College Football BlogPoll Ballot (Week 12): Not Every Team in My Top Three Plays in the SEC West
Compiling a top 25 this week was particularly challenging, for a variety of reasons, but, as always, I take my responsibilities as a BlogPoll voter seriously. Here, for what it’s worth, is how the best teams in college football stack up on my ballot: <!-- SB Nation BlogPoll Top 25 Ballot...
College Football BlogPoll Ballot (Week Eleven): And Then There Were Two
This week, I did my duty as a conscientious BlogPoll voter, carefully parsing the resumes of the respective contenders and, quite frankly, finding most of them wanting in a big way. Such glaring flaws notwithstanding, I have done my best to assemble a sensible top 25 based on what the teams have...
College Football BlogPoll Ballot (Week Ten): Well, We're Clear on No. 1, Anyway. . . .
It’s Hate Week. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for some of you, Hate Week was two weeks ago, but, for me, Hate Week is reserved for the team we’ve been playing the longest, the team we’ve played the most often, and the team that has beaten us more often than any other. I understand why some of you reserve your...
College Football BlogPoll Ballot (Week Eight): The Revolt of the Twice-Beatens
Because the Bulldogs had a bye week, I was able to watch more football and reflect in greater depth upon the meaning of the various results when compiling my BlogPoll ballot. In addition, I am about 90 per cent recovered---all right, 85 per cent, but still---from the cold that dogged me all week...
