Sorry for my absence today, but I had good and sufficient reason. In my opinion, anyway.
Here we are at the conclusion of Week 2 of the college football season. What you will see in my Blogpoll draft ballot is some movement but that is to be expected in the second week. My algorithm rewards road victories, strength of schedule, and beating teams ranked above you. Therefore, we have a few changes.
The Florida Gators got rewarded because they went on the road and beat Texas A&M. The TCU Horned Frogs got rewarded because they obliterated FCS Grambling St. Okay, I never said my algorithm was perfect.
Anyway, my ballot is what it is, and it may be found after the jump. Please offer any praise, or advice about corrections between now and about 9:00 tomorrow morning, or forever hold your peace.
