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 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.

Here are my selections for the 2011 BlogPoll Preseason Poll.

After seeing the polls last year, I’m now one of those people who thinks the polls shouldn’t come out until a few weeks into the season. We haven’t seen any of these teams play yet.

But let me know if you agree with my picks. Otherwise, this will be the ballot I submit in on Monday.
