It's coming down to the time of year when I'm getting asked quite a bit "when do the rankings come out". Just like Granger did, at least a few years before I took over, the goal is always to have them out by the first week of August. That hasn't changed so I'm looking at having them finalized late next week, through the weekend, or early the week after (two weeks from today). So, be on the lookout for that!
Also, we'll still be doing our
fan polls again this year. We'll open those up for week one picks shortly after the rankings come out. Nothing will change for this. Just list your top 10 in order each week so we can see how the masses feel about each division leading up to game day(s)!
Finally, one of the most requested features, we'll be doing a weekly
six-man pick'em during the entire season. We'll let The Toy determine, each week, what the top 40 games are (public and private schools included), and we'll pick from those. Compete against one another and against The Toy for bragging rights. Just like with the fan polls, we'll go ahead and open up week one shortly after the rankings come out.
