BlogPoll Preseason College Football Top 25 Rankings: Why Limit Ourselves to Looking Ahead to 2012?
(Author’s Note: The rankings following the jump are intended in jest. Bring your sense of humor with you. You have been warned.) Our good friend (and soon-to-be conference coeval) Bill Connelly, of whom I made mention earlier today after he gave Mark Richt the credit due him (and thereby almost...
2011 Blogpoll: BC Interruption's Final Ballot Of Season
LSU probably deserves a share of this year's National Championship. The Tigers beat everyone they were asked to during the regular season, including the Pac-12 (and Rose Bowl) champ and the Big East (and Orange Bowl) champ, in addition to six then-ranked SEC opponents during the year -- #25...

2011 College Football Final BlogPoll Top 25: The Ground Rules
The coaches’ and sportswriters’ polls have been released, and the final verdict of the BlogPoll is forthcoming, though we in the blogosphere take a little more time, in the hope of getting it right. Ere I publish my final top 25 (which I am apt to do in segments, this being the ultimate...
2011 Blogpoll: Week 15 Ballot
Here is our week 15 SB Nation Blogpoll Top 25 ballot. Interestingly, Jeff and I were split on who gets the second spot and a berth to the Mythical Blogpoll National Championship Game, with one of us favoring the rematch and the other Oklahoma State. The tie was ultimately broken by the guy who...
2011 Blogpoll: Week 14 Ballot
