    Mods, please feel free to move this if you like -- or sticky if you like...

    OK, boys and girls. Johnny Dangerously's post on the AP Top 25 got me thinking... I know, a rarity.
    I hereby volunteer to put together each week the SportsJournalists.com Top 25 College football poll.
    Same rules as AP (quoted below) ,but I'm not going to chase anyone down.
    Here's how I'd like to do it if there are enough responses: I'd like to take 30 voters (spread out from around the country) who can get me a top 25 each Sunday by Noon Eastern. I won't play favorites, infact I'll be happy to seek help from someone in putting together a list of voters.
    What I ask initially by 6 p.m. Monday is for you, if interested, to PM me that you would be willing to participate every week, the state you are from and (if applicable) the conference you cover. That way, someone from Florida might cover the ACC or Big East, from Ohio the Big Ten or MAC... you catch the drift. You do not have to disclose your real name. If we get more than 30, I may add voters, I may pick and choose.
    I'd like to mix up by region or conference. It doesn't matter if you are print, broadcast, blogger, website or fan boy -- promise me an honest effort.
    I will not disclose your vote every week -- you may however feel free to post them here here.
    I don't care how many posts you have, if you are the board whipping boy or Mr./Miss/Mrs. Popular. Hell, I don't even care if you're from America (Canuckistanis welcome). As long as you pay attention and give it an honest effort each week.
    Monday mornings, when I get to it, I will release the poll and a short story with it.

    So if interested PM me (NOT post "I'm in" or an equivalent). It could be fun...

    Cal State Fullerton doesn't have a football team, but they've been undefeated since 1992. Can they be No. 1 all season, too?

    Can I pay homage to Whitlock and put Miami in the top five all season?

    (sorry Slappy...I didn't mean to cause a mutiny. I think it sounds like a swell idea.)

    I'll vote Kansas No. 1 each week, then dis Oz on the board for making such an outrageous vote.
