ALL HAIL THE BLOG POLL BALLOT!
Mock away, but here’s the ballot for Week Zero, which like Year Zero will be about stripping the rotten framework of last year away and making room for a new, glorious worker’s paradise of a season to arise. Hopefully we can skip all the killing and carnage, though, since as a glasses-wearing dork we’d be toast.

I thought you guys were over the 31-3 ass kicking last year. C’mon, you gotta have at least 6 SEC teams in, right?

Its amazing how people overreact to polls, no matter their shape or form. You could release a top 25 poll of the cutest puppies and kittens and you’d still get reactions of overrated, and can I have some of what you are smoking.

Overrated at #8 in this poll? Absolutely. Overrated last year as a preseason top 5? Sure, but I’m sure there are a lot of you who are glad your team isn’t playing UT this year and a lot of teams who are glad they aren’t Cal.

The Orgeron is in route to Orson’s place of business at this very moment to drag him behind his Hummer for not listing Ole Miss at #1.

It’s a preseason poll. If I were to put out a preseason top 25, I’d have all of the MAC and CUSA on there. And the three service academies. There’s no evidence so far that the Broncos of Western Michigan aren’t the best team in the country this year.

This is not the only poll that gives Georgia a low rank, but I think they are far better than 22nd.

you know, having grown up in the south and being one of 43 Razorback fans on the internet, I never thought I’d be spending any time rah-rahing the Chippewas. Then again, I never thought that’s where I’d end up graduating from…
GO DIRECTIONAL MICHIGAN!!
except for Northern Michigan…damn D-2 Yoopers

Vols #8? Until we prove otherwise, i’m not sure I’d rank us #8 in the SEC. #9 maybe – there are Kentucky, Miss St. and Vandy without Cutler. Other than that, is there anyone else we can simply show up and beat?

I just noticed that Southern Mis And UCF are supposed to have pretty good teams.If UF has line problems we may see the Gators go down like a Tenn. high school Principle at football tryouts.

So if Duke gets #25 because they hired Spurrier first, and UF gets #13 because they had Spurrier for so long, why isn’t USC on the list???

When it comes to Ohio State, their season consists of a victory against Texas and a victory against Michigan. They achieve both those things, they’re in the title game. Which is kinda lame, but that’ll be the Big Ten for you this season.

Agree with you on Auburn, if not for the talent, definitely for the schedule. Coaching and talent matter most, but schedule plays a HUGE role. That’s why Auburn has a great shot at the title. We’ve broken down a new top ten that way on the323.blogspot.com, if anyone is interested.
