Blog Poll 1.1 (FINAL)

Earlier this week I posted my initial blog poll ballot.  After eliciting some feedback and some general mind changing I have altered it slightly before I clicked my final submission.  Most notably I made some changes at the top and then some minor changes in the middle.  I'm not going to re post my full ballot the significant changes occurred at the top.

Originally at the top I followed the trendy crowd and had Georgia (1), Ohio State (2) and Oklahoma (3).  I have changed my top 3 to this...

  1. Oklahoma
  2. Ohio State
  3. Georgia

To be completely honest I don't have a solid reason for the moves.  Preseason polls are about as subjective as you can get so this may be my only chance to be a little bit different before objectivity rears its ugly head.  This is also my chance to be a little bit predictive rather than a straight power poll. 

So, this is what I'm going with and I'm sticking to it.  I am not of the mindset that my #1 has to lose before I move them.  If Georgia or Ohio State particularly impress or Oklahoma struggles I won't hesitate to shakeup the top.

Blog Poll 1.1 is officially submitted to MGO and the first official poll should be released tomorrow.
