SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Rankings 2011

You can view the break down of results and voter bias RIGHT HERE.

Some choice excerpts:

I knew without looking what blog ranked Oklahoma State No. 1: Black Heart Gold Pants, our most resolute resume vote. BHGP puts the 'Pokes ahead of Florida State, North Carolina, Ohio State, and Connecticut in its first ballot, relying heavily on margin of victory. Resume balloting is hardest to justify early in the season, when results like UConn's thrashing of UMass get overvalued, but the funniest thing about the BHGP ballot, which still isn't "wack," per se, is that Alabama is No. 24 and LSU is No. 25.

Notre Dame's 50-10 win over Navy in Ireland has all sorts of conditions attached to it, too: did the Irish beat up on a terrible Navy team or persevere despite missing most of their starting backfield? That, and ingrained biases against jumping on the ND bandwagon, help keep Notre Dame controversial.

Vanquish The Foe does the age-old thing to get ranked here, by not voting for its own team in a week that sees that team earn votes. The only truly strange thing here: someone ranked Iowa!?!? Let's retroactively add Blatant Homerism to that Wack Ballot section.

Discuss and debate.
