Who's #1?

So, you may be wondering why our weekly Top 25 ballot hasn't appeared yet.  Is it because I'm lazy?  That's true, in part.  Is it because I just got NCAA Football for my XBox, and I spent a good chunk of last night using Cal to pummel Maryland into submission, 135-7?  Again, the answer is yes.  Still, there's another good reason why our ballot hasn't appeared:  it's not finished yet.

Each week, Yellow Fever, CBKWit and I put together a Top 25, and then the 3 ballots are averaged to come up with the ballot I write about each week.  In the case of ties, we place higher the team that two out of the three voters preferred.  However, 3-way ties are harder to resolve, especially if all three voters had the teams in different orders.  This week, we had a 3-way tie for #1.

Texas, Alabama, and Florida all received a 1st place vote, a 2nd place vote, and a 4th place vote (interestingly, all 3 of us has Oklahoma at #3), and I know of no good way to break this tie.  We could be like the Big XII South, and just use the BCS standings, but that's a stupid way to break a tie.  Instead, I've decided to ask our tiebreaking voters:  you.

So please, help us out, and vote in the attached poll.  Tell us who YOU think should be #1.  Feel free to leave a comment to try and persuade other readers.  Our final ballot is due tomorrow morning, so I'll go with whatever the results are then.

Be nice. You can find the original CGB team at WriteForCalifornia.com.
