As many of you know, I am one of the voters in the BlogPoll Top 25. Each week, bloggers across the country representing the various FBS schools get together and put together their own top 25’s. Here at SOX & Dawgs, we are representing the UConn Huskies. The votes are then tabulated on Mondays.
Each week we are asked to do an initial ballot. This allows you the reader to let us know in the comments whether you agree with my choices or not. The initial ballots will normally be done on Sunday.
After I check the comments for the initial ballot, I then resubmit my final ballot for the week. If there are comments, I’ll take them into consideration before submitting the final ballot by 8 a.m. on Monday.
You can check out the ballot I submitted earlier today by clicking on the read more button below if you’re on the homepage.

SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings ยป
The only changes I made in my top five this week were flipping Wisconsin and Boise State. While the Broncos have been impressive this season, the Badgers have been equally the same if not better with a tougher schedule. Hence the switch.
As for the rest, Georgia Tech is my big mover of the week. Even though they struggled against Maryland, I’m thinking they should have been rewarded earlier for their strong season. It’s never too late to make up for that so it’s done now.
It’s hard to keep Texas A&M in with two losses but they play a really tough schedule so they do deserve to be in there. Penn State and Houston are the new teams this week.
Let me know in the comments if you agree or disagree with anything and I’ll take those comments into consideration before submitting my final ballot.
