For those new to this blog, the blogpoll was established a few years ago to give the bloggers their own version of college football's ranking system. The major difference with our poll is that we announce what games we actually watched, wear our bias on our sleeve and don't have to adhere to any system but our own. In general I tend to reward record and strength of schedule.
On the BC front, this year Eagle All Access joins me and the BCI guys in the poll. I left BC out of my preseason Top 25 and will try my best not to jinx the team if we start strong.

ATL: The blogpoll is one of my favorite parts of the season and I love seeing it return. All in all, a solid job I think. One question: why so bullish on Michigan State? They weren't very good running the ball last year, and that was with Javon Ringer (they averaged less than 4 yards per as a team). New back, new QB, where do you see the offense coming from? Of course, the Big 10 is rather shallow so they may win enough to stay in the top 25 despite any offensive shortcomings they may have.
BC playing 4 top 25 teams would be decent schedule, however, I do not see Wake Forest in the top 25. Central Mich is also suspect. I think FSU should be around 16 or so. I would not be surprised to see Wake at 4th or 5th in Atlantic. I do agree with UND not being in the poll, Mississippi is kind of high, but would love to see that.
I don't know how you can vote SC ahead of Texas and Oklahoma when they're breaking in a new QB. Would you really pick SC over either of those teams if they played opening weekend at a neutral site?
