College football season kicks off in ... shoot... I don't know. A few weeks now.
And that means it's time for the third annual SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- written about and complained about all over the interwebs.
This season, we're (OK, I'm) looking for 37 volunteers for the poll. Why 37? Simple -- all 37 will vote; 35 will be actual and two will be alternates in case of missing or late ballots or people bailing in the middle of the season. Depending on the turnout, I might go higher (not much; last season's 50 was time consuming and unwieldly), but will still have two alternates.
Other than mine, all spots are open -- there are no reserved spots for those who voted in 2007 or 08. However, those who have voted in the past are quite encouraged to participate. Even Bubbler and BYH.
Please send me a note (PM) telling me why you want to be in; what part of the country you're currently in (specific is best; discretion is absolute) and what kind of conference ties you have (for example, Grew up watching the Big 10, went to a Big East school, cover the Mountain West)...
If this sounds fine and you can commit from late August through the bowls, you're welcome to apply. If this sounds reall good, but there's going to be an issue with your getting in the ballot on time (usually Noon CT on Monday, but subject to change depending on circumstances) maybe you'd best pass. This poll prompts a lot of discussion and can be a plus for this board. Debate is open to all, sniping is welcome from none.
Am looking for a mix of old and new blood, high and low posts, various parts of the country primarily, but welcomed from Canuckistan and -- yes, Trooper Bari participated after he moved to Asia.
I haven't decided the cutoff date for applications, but probably two weeks or so. Ah heck. Let's just call it July 31 and take it from there.
Anyone interested?
