CBSSPORTS.COM BECOMES EXCLUSIVE HOME FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL BLOGGER TOP 25 POLL
BEGINNING MONDAY, OCTOBER 6 CBSSports.com to Host Weekly Top 25 Poll Voted on by Nearly 100 Top College Football Bloggers CHICAGO, IL –
CBSSports.com will become the exclusive home of the College Football BlogPoll beginning on Monday, October 6. The CBSSports.com BlogPoll Top 25 is a weekly ranking of the top 25 college football teams as voted on by nearly 100 of the leading college football bloggers, representing every BCS school and several non-BCS schools. TeamWorks Media, a Chicago-based sports and entertainment content company and the rights holder of the College Football BlogPoll, has created a partnership with CBSSports.com.
Since 2005, the most influential, popular and expert college football bloggers have weighed in each week of the season, combining to create a weekly Top 25 ranking unrivaled in its authenticity and transparency. Each blogger's weekly ballot is publicly available, and the bloggers themselves post their ballots on their blogs, subject to the scrutiny of the fans.
As the new home for the BlogPoll Top 25, CBSSports.com will continue this tradition: The BlogPoll's initial results will be released on Monday, displayed side-by-side with the more traditional AP and Coaches' polls. Fans will be encouraged to review the ballot of the blogger associated with their favorite team and, if interested, even challenge them to defend their decision-making. The BlogPoll voters will take this fan feedback into account before submitting their final ballot, released each Wednesday exclusively at CBSSports.com.
The BlogPoll's founder and administrator, Brian Cook -- who publishes MGoBlog.com, the leading blog dedicated to Michigan football -- will continue to provide his weekly analysis, calling out individual bloggers for qualities like excessive deviation from the overall poll and "homerism."
Voting bloggers are vetted for editorial integrity before being allowed to participate and comprise many of the most knowledgeable, responsible and influential experts in the sport. The weekly BlogPoll ballots are among the most highly anticipated posts each week
CBSSports.com will begin hosting all aspects of the College Football BlogPoll, including the week's preliminary rankings, individual ballots and final rankings, on Monday, October 6. Visit www.cbssports.com to view the rankings and get in on the action.

Biased
While I couldn’t agree more with your No. 1 in this poll, you have a clear bias against the SEC. Does it have anything to do with the little man complex you’ve no doubt developed as an ACC fan?
LSU would mop the floor with Missouri and Oklahoma, and you are kidding if you think Penn State (or any Big 10 team) could handle Florida or UGA.
Also, I’m not sure how you keep Vanderbilt out of the Top 10 but that’s a complete joke.
PS—FSU would get completely waxed by South Carolina and Ole Miss both. SEC defenses, even the mediocre teams, are much better than Miami.
Vandy has a win over South Carolina and...
who again?
I put 4 sec teams in the top 12 and 6 in the top 25. How is that biased?
This poll is about the what you have done so far. I of course factor in reputation to an extent, but I’m not sure what other SEC schools you would like to see in the top 25.
LSU has a true freshman quarterback, a hobbled linebacker corps, and a very green secondary.
Correction, I have 7 in the top 25.
Bama
LSU
UGA
UF
VANDY
SCe
OLE MISS
All other national polls have far fewer.
typical SEC homer
First of all, he’s blatantly trolling.
Second of all, he’s not intelligent enough to understand the concept of “resume ranking”.
Keep up the good work, Got 12?.
At this point, I might not be either.
Saurian Sagacity says that is is easier to resume rank as the season rolls along.
I am struggling with how much to reward a top 20-25 team for playing well against a top 10 team. They’re supposed to lose that game, according to vegas and the traditional polls. If they stay within the number and have a respectable showing, how much can you punish them?
I expected to get some “EEESSSS EEEEEE SSSEEEEEE” type stuff here.
