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. 15 Through 6
I am working my way through my BlogPoll ballot, having set forth the ground rules, the also-rans, and Nos. 25 through 16. I now come to the ten teams I have ranked between sixth and 15th, which I provide for your consideration, commentary, and constructive criticism; viz.: 15. Oklahoma Sooners...
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 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...
College Football BlogPoll (Week Seven): Tide and Tigers and Sooners, Oh, My!
As previously reported, I am under the weather, and I am a resume ranker, so what follows may make absolutely no sense whatsoever, but, be that as it may, I cast my BlogPoll ballot this week, and here is my top 25: <!-- SB Nation BlogPoll Top 25 Ballot --> Dawg Sports Ballot -...
College Football BlogPoll (Week Six): It's the SEC West's World; We're Just Living In It
If you’ve never tried compiling a top 25, I strongly encourage you to give it a whirl; it’s harder than it looks, even if you are able to articulate a semi-coherent voting philosophy (which I hope is true in my case; I am a resume ranker). On Monday, I cast this week’s BlogPoll ballot, and here is...
College Football BlogPoll Ballot (Week 4): Reshuffling by Resumes
As promised, I ignored completely last week’s BlogPoll ballot when compiling this week’s top 25, concentrating solely on ranking the teams by resumes. Since my forecasting skills are suspect at best, ordering teams upon the basis of which ones I believe would beat which other ones at a hypothetical...
BlogPoll Ballot (Week 3): There's a New Sheriff in College Football
It’s BlogPoll ballot time again, and this week’s top 25 represents the last subtle reshuffling of my previous week’s ballot before the resume ranking begins in earnest once everyone has played someone. The timing on this works well, as every team will have three or four games under its belt, and I...
