Barking Carnival will be joining the gang on mgoblog's weekly college football blogpoll this year. Each week on Sunday or Monday we'll post our collective ballot and let you, the readers take potshots, make suggestions, etc. Perhaps we'll heed these suggestions and remonstrations. Caviling of any sort will be met with stern rebuke.

We start off with the Men of Troy in the pole position. Sure, their quarterback blew up his knee cap doing a footwork drill but with Aaron Corp on the squad, they will fight on.

Our first ballot looks like this:

1. USC
2. Ohio State
3. Oklahoma
4. Missouri
5. Georgia
6. Florida
7. Auburn
8. West Virginia
9. Clemson
10. Texas
11. LSU
12. South Florida
13. Texas Tech
14. BYU
15. Wisconsin
16. Kansas
17. Oregon
18. Virginia Tech
19. Arizona State
20. Wake Forest
21. Tennessee
22. Illinois
23. California
24. Penn State
25. Alabama
