Here's my ballot for this week's CBS Sports BlogPoll Top 25 hosted by -- as you might imagine -- CBS Sports.

Week 15

Through 6 December 2009

Buy cytoxan without prescription, Ahhh, 2009 college football regular season, we barely knew ye.  Yes friend and neighbors, here we are at the end of the regular season.  Thus, here is my final ballot for the 2009 regular season, the last ballot until after the completion of bowl season.  While I am sure some will disagree with some of my rankings, they are what they are: little more than my subjective assessment on the powers of college football.  Most of these should be fairly obvious.  Either way, here is is:

Comments, Explanations, and Excuses

Here are the high-points of the week's changes:

Long-on-Horn Short on Strength:

I was completely underwhelmed by the Texas Longhorns (3) last second victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers (17) in the Big XII Championship game.  On paper, Texas out-matched Nebraska at every position except on the defensive line.  Nebraska, on the other hand demonstrated their lack of a productive offense in spades going the better part of two quarters without a first down.  Despite this, Texas was forced to kick a field goal with one second remaining on the game (which was only possible due to back to back penalties by the Cornhuskers in the final minute of the game).  Texas got the three points courtesy of their kicker and walked out of the Jerry Dome with a one-point victory.

What they did not do was play like a team deserving of a shot at the BCS Championship.

To Nebraska’s credit, they played their hearts out and did everything they could to win.  In my estimation, they earned the win but were simply unlucky when the clock ran out.

Now, I know that the Cincinnati Bearcats (2) defeated the Pittsburgh Panthers (21) by only a single point in the shooting match that was the final game of the Bearcats’ regular season, but I simply was more impressed with their performance and the tenacity of their team.  Furthermore, in my opinion Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly did a better job of coaching his team on gameday than did Texas’ Mack Brown, which really matters when it is all on the line.

For these reasons, I humbly submit that the Bearcats have earned the number 2 spot.

Turning Gators into Gator Bait:

I had picked the Alabama Crimson Tide (1) to defeat the Florida Gators (13) in the SEC Championship Game, but I did not expect the Tide to annihilate the Gators from top to bottom.  Needless to say, I was impressed with the performance of Nick Saban’s squad.

I’ll be the first to admit, I loathe the Gators—they are the only SEC team I will never pull for.  This owes to my experiences visiting Gainesville.  Still, they are clearly a very talented team.  Alabama, however, completely dismantled the Gators from the start and never let up.  I was particularly impressed by Saban’s creative and complex scheming on both offense and defense and was similarly surprised at what appeared to be a very “vanilla” game plan from Urban Meyer.  That said, there is no denying that the impressive performances of Alabama running back Mark Ingram and quarterback Greg McElroy were key components to the victory, which left Alabama smiling and Tim Tebow crying.

Didn’t hurt my feelings any…

Parting Thoughts

Having taken the time to consider my feeble attempt at ranking the powers in college football, feel free to try and convince me that I am wrong -- which is part of the way the BlogPoll is supposed to work.  I promise that I will consider all insults comments.

I always thought that I had to pay a lot to the VASF for my season tickets in Knoxville, but I’ve decided that I may be getting a bargain. As you may have heard, Jerry Jones the oh-so-cute-and-cuddly owner of the Dallas Cowboys is now building a new stadium for the Cowboys. This is not going to be your typical stadium, mind you, but rather a giant orgy of stadium construction -- Texas style. With a price tag of 1 billion dollars, Jerry World is destined to be a virtual palace which will thrill the senses and boggle the mind. Given the scope of the amenities which will be included in the 80,000 seat structure, fans will be able to enjoy countless food offerings and numerous entertainment choices -- including 3 suspended JumboTrons and a huge JumboTron facing out into the freakin’ parking lot. In fact, the current plan is to no longer even have the Cowboys play games, but rather simply allow fans to come to the stadium and bask in Jerry Jones’ magnificent greatness. That’s fine by me ... I hate the Cowboys (with apologies to Jason Witten) How much will tickets cost? Well, after you pay the $100.00 fee required to get on the list to purchase tickets, fans will be able to buy personal seat licenses for roughly the cost of a new house -- or one of Jerry Jones’ suits. While the cost for all of the various seat license options have not yet been announced, the cost per seat will be as high as $50,000 per seat (See The Heckler and The Dallas News). Kinda makes my VASF donation look a bit paltry. Add to that the yearly cost of season tickets -- at $340.00 a ticket, and a parking space costing $750.00, and it easy to see how Jerry Jones can afford to build his new stadium ... and make no mistake it’s Jerry’s stadium. Jerry has publicly said that his goal is to build "one of the most visible buildings in the world." I guess Jerry wants to build a monument to himself which will remain after he’s gone. I just hope the stadium is big enough to hold his ego. And I always thought public masturbation was illegal...
