I wrote a beautiful blog this week on the state of college FB.  It included midseason analysis, facts, my picks for best players, surprise teams and disappointments.  I cried when I read it, it was breathtaking.   I cried again minutes later when I posted it and this site locked up my computer and deleted my post.

I swore off FoxSports Blogs on the spot (for the umpteenth time).  When you have such little time to blog, it can be overwhelming to lose your work.  But I finally decided I owed it to the faithful voters to post their poll one more time.  I'm not sure if i can keep doing this.  I'm gonna contact someone for some help, we'll see how it shakes out.

Anyways, another fine job by our panel.  Just like the big boys, we have LSU a unanimous #1.   Because we only have a few voters, I made a rule early on that a team must be listed on multiple ballots to be ranked, so that no one vote could jump a team too high in the poll.  Some of the teams receiving votes had higher point totals, but were only listed on one ballot.
