BlogPoll: Fantasy College Blitz Preseason Top 25
August 22nd, 2010 by Vince Mullins
Fantasy College Blitz again represents Oklahoma State in the SB Nation Blogpoll Top 25, “a transparent, authentic weekly college football poll. More than 100 of the most knowledgeable college football bloggers representing fans from virtually every rooting interest align weekly to rank the Top 25 college football teams. Every ballot is available for review.”
I put little weight on preseason polls since there is so much complexity involved not only week to week but then trying to prognosticate said complexity over the course of an entire season. That has nothing to do with the fun and discussion that results from the exercise.

Rationale and biases after the jump.
I like to represent the Sun Belt or the MAC whenever possible, and MT has a schedule that could finish unblemished. Plus readers should be very aware of my man-crush on Dwight Dasher.
Oregon will be just fine without Masoli – another program that recruits with the elite, plus they get to wear fine duds. Schedule sets up well for confidence going into the tough Pac Ten slate starting around halloween.
USC – not in my poll due to sanctions. Probably Top Ten talent though, unfortunate that the current Trojans get screwed while Reggie Bush gets to keep screwing fashion models.
I do not want to like the Sooners, but all must respect the great regular season work from Coach Bob Stoops. I think Phil Steele is onto something projecting OU as the National Champs given bad luck and injuries last season, but the gods of irony need to make them play The Ohio State University in a battle of “Buffalo Bills-like-bridesmaids”.
