Don't ask me why I decided to accept the invitation to participate in the College Football Blog Poll. It's not like I care that much about polls, and it's not like I need another thing to spend 10 minutes a week on. But here I am.
What is the Blog Poll? Well, read here to get the 411. It's basically a bunch of bloggers voting each week for a top 25. Here's my initial ballot:
Rank | Team | Delta |
---|---|---|
1 | Southern Cal | |
2 | Florida | |
3 | Georgia | |
4 | Oklahoma | |
5 | Ohio State | |
6 | LSU | |
7 | Clemson | |
8 | West Virginia | |
9 | Texas | |
10 | Kansas | |
11 | Auburn | |
12 | Missouri | |
13 | Wisconsin | |
14 | Virginia Tech | |
15 | Texas Tech | |
16 | Tennessee | |
17 | Wake Forest | |
18 | Illinois | |
19 | South Florida | |
20 | Oregon | |
21 | Arizona State | |
22 | Brigham Young | |
23 | Michigan | |
24 | Florida State | |
25 | Georgia Tech | |
Dropped Out:
Key Points:
- Yes, blatant homerism with Georgia Tech at #25, but hey, Playboy thinks we're #25 also, and obviously they know a lot about spread options.
- Georgia gets in the top 5, but I'm not sure they'll be able to get into the title game after losing Thanksgiving weekend :-)
- Who cares about the rest? It's silly to do this in week 0 anyway.
