Here at Anchor of Gold, we're pretty connected, and we're going to let you in on a little-known secret that's being kept from you by very powerful people -- the start of the college football season is just around the corner. Once again, AOG has been selected to participate in the extremely elite Blogpoll. No big deal.

Each week the extremely talented and good-looking staff here at AOG will focus our powerful brains on the task of creating a draft ballot. We will then have our powerful brains command our impressive and defined musculoskeletal systems to type out said draft ballot onto the internets (we prefer chisels but we're old-fashioned and ripped). We then ask that our army of genius, beautiful readers (they're mostly female because as I have mentioned we are extremely good looking, your AOG staff) to provide their critiques via a highly intellectual discourse in the section below that is reserved for only the most respected and valued of commentators of intelligence somehow in excess of even our own. Once a consensus has been reached, we shall make the necessary alterations to the ballot and finalize it with the Blogpoll collective. From that point forward, our ballot will stand above the rest of the ball, for the size of its sheer awesome shall be unmatched.

Our initial preseason Blogpoll Top 25 ballot after the jump. Remember to please approach this one with plutonium tongs, as it may still be too powerful for any mere mortals.
