    I'd like to give it a try this year if there's room for me.

    As I said before, giving it a try is great and We're glad to have you. But pay close attention to the rules before you say you want in. Several people wanted in and bailed during the year or had to be hunted down every week. Or would pick teams from their favorite conference higher than they deserved (or least favorite conference lower than deserved)...
    That's not happening this year..
    And for newbies, last year's polls can be found here.

    I've carefully read the rules, slappy. I'm in.

    You're right about sending in the poll before going to bed if you know you're going to sleep in or have things to do. That's what I did last year and it seemed to work well for me. And bottom line, doing this poll made me a more informed college football fan, which I didn't think possible.

    Glad you're willing to run the Top 25 poll again -- easily my favorite (and most rewarding) thread of 2007.

    Thanks for posting that. That's a helpful reference tool.

    This was one of the coolest experiments on the Intrawebs last year. Can't wait to be a part of it again -- and Slappy is a big reason why.

    Oz is right in that it makes you a more informed football fan.

    Buckdubs' most overrated 2008-09 team = Georgia.

    He has a brain, so he knows that counting on Stafford for a championship season isn't a safe bet, unless Stafford hunkers down.

    Georgia is the Michigan of the SEC... should win a title every year, yet finds a way to turn a BCS bowl into Jacksonville, Tampa or El Paso....

    If Georgia wore those black tops more, they'd win more.
