CBSSports.com BlogPoll Ballot - Final edition

Comment 1 comment so far January 12, 2010 by Brandon Vogel

Last BlogPoll of the season and it's a lot like hitting the reset button. Pay no mind to the delta's in this case. With four weeks elapsed since the last poll, this was really a re-ranking at the end of...

How high can you rank half a team who has three losses by a total of four points? In Nebraska's case, I went with 17. The more interesting question might be how high can Nebraska start next season? That will...

Hope you enjoyed your commemorative trip to the Top 25, Temple. Seeing as how they're the only team to drop out of my Top 25 you know we're reaching the end of the season. Things are continuing to stabilize and...

You know how up to this year Steve Spurrier always cast a vote for Duke in some sort of acknowledgment to the absurdity of preseason polls? I'm doing my version of that this week, not in protest but as an...

I'm already starting to feel sorry for TCU. Nobody seems to be playing better football than the Horned Frogs right now. They have a truly multiple offense--pro sets, Wild Frog, spread, whatever it takes--the offensive playmakers to make that style...

CBSSports.com BlogPoll #12

November 10, 2009 by Brandon Vogel

It was a Pac-10 uprising this week in the BlogPoll. There might not be a better conference top to bottom in the country right now. Oregon's loss essentially ends any chance of having a national title contender and that will...

This image has nothing to do with this week's BlogPoll, but it's Oklahoma week and that means I'll be using it liberally in the days to come. It takes a lot of swagger to wear the cowboy hat AND the...

CBSSports.com BlogPoll Ballot #9

October 26, 2009 by Brandon Vogel

October 19, 2009 by Brandon Vogel

I give up. You win unpredictability. Uncle. While it's happening, it's all fun and good watching the current polls disintegrate like that random henchman in RoboCop after his toxic waste bath, but then Monday rolls around and you have to...

Comments 6 comments so far September 28, 2009 by Brandon Vogel

Is anybody any good? That's the question with a wild September in the books and it necessitates a vast restructuring of my current poll. Think of it like a month-end inventory or audit. Or just look at it like many...

CBSSports.com BlogPoll Ballot: Week 4

September 21, 2009 by Brandon Vogel

Conventional poll wisdom dictates that, following even a heartbreaking loss in a game you controlled for long stretches of time, a team that loses has to drop and that's what happened with Nebraska yesterday. Personally, my opinion of Nebraska rose...
