Our Swinging SB Nation BlogPoll Top 25 Ballot, Week 4 – Roll Tide
Below lie the fruits of our labor – Jason Collette and I worked out our Top 25 on the podcast, here is the final version of our combination of resume’ voting with some gut-level feelings of inspiration. PS – seems that the curator of the Blogpoll appreciates our objectivity while busting chops about the lack […]
PODCAST: Vince and Jason assemble the Top 25 College Football Rankings
Vince Mullins and Jason Collette targeted this week to get serious with our Top 25. After all, there just have not been enough data points of games and “opponents of opponents” to get a feel for the realtive strength of one program to another. We agree that five teams can claim the number one spot […]
Our Top 25 for the SB Nation BlogPoll, Week 2
Jason Collette of Rotowire/DRaysBay and I agree – this whole ranking thing is kind of silly in September. Heck, the lack of evidence on the field is the main reason I don’t run the BlitzIndex defense rankings until three games are on the books, so why not wait to identify the top quintile of college […]
Our Preseason College Football ranks for the SB Nation Top 25 BlogPoll
Preseason polls have more political weight than anything – in the absence of games to judge one is left with speculation at best, blatant homerism and “analyst inertia” from last year at worst. But that is on a high national level – you know we at Fantasy College Blitz have already projected out the statistical […]
BlogPoll Top 25: the Birth of my new #1
Just as the South Carolina victory over Alabama gave way for a new #1 in the mid-season college football polls, so too did last week give birth to my new #1 Baby Girl Mullins! As expected, she already knows how to celebrate a touchdown: After the jump, why I position the Oregon Ducks ahead of […]
Fantasy College Blitz Ballot for SB Nation BlogPoll Top 25
The mob has plans, the cops have plans, Gordon’s got plans. You know, they’re schemers. Schemers trying to control their little worlds. I’m not a schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. – Joker in The Dark Knight As I sit in the hospital on my […]
My Top 25 on SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Rankings
Not much to change in the Top 8, I still think Oklahoma is the sleeping giant amongst them all – we will certainly learn if they can put their boots on the ailing Texas Longhorns at the Red River Rivalry on Saturday. Fantasy College Blitz Ballot – Week 5 Rank Team Delta 1 Alabama Crimson […]
Blogpoll Top 25 Ballot: Ducks take flight
I feel like I was ahead of the curve last week by putting the Oregon Ducks at #3 – they stay there after another dominating performance that vaulted them to the top ratings on offense and defense. Oregon may deserve #1, but I am not ready to move Alabama and Ohio State down. Temple sneaks […]
First take of FCB Top 25 on the BlogPoll
Fantasy College Blitz changed its “representation” in the SB Nation BlogPoll Top 25 from Oklahoma State to Central Florida, since everyone but me in the ownership group affiliates with the Knights and also NO ONE ELSE was representing the largest student body enrollment in the Sunshine State. I will bet fewer Virginia Tech fans will […]
SB Nation College Football BlogPoll Week One
The final tally for Week One is in, and it should be no surprise that the Boise State Broncos received a fair share of first-place votes. Most voters will keep Alabama there until they lose. Both positions very defensible. I will jump back in with my vote next week. Results for Week 2 # School […]
