PrintI'll admit, after reading all the crazy ballots that were submitted this week by coaches and Harris Poll voters, I'm more than a little weary of this process. And don't even get me started on the bowl selection committees.
But like a good blogger, I soldier on. Hell, I even got the ballot submitted on time this week. Aren't I just a wonderful enabler of a horrifically flawed and unfair system?
My Week 15 SB Nation BlogPoll ballot, again posted without comment, follows after the jump.
The waiting list for Week 15 comprises Cincinnati, Northern Illinois and BYU.

OSU at #4?
Don’t tell the guys at CRFF, they’ll come over here and teach you a lesson!

BOYCOTT ESPN!
The Coaches and Harris Polls need to go away
Kansas State was as high as No. 6 (Art Briles) and as low as 17 (Les Miles) in the coaches. F Miles sideways for believing the media bias of the SEC. I now wish even more OSU would have gotten them and beat the crap out of them.
A voter in the Harris poll had Houston over Oklahoma State because he said Southern Miss was better than Iowa State. What deranged idiocy! Voting should only be by those who watch ALL the games and if that can’t happen a computer should decide.
Bitchslapping Texas since 1997
If someone in a major poll such as the Harris Poll voted in that manner, then hope for the process must be gone.
How could anyone even be chosen to vote in a major poll and be that freakin’ ignorant?
If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.
It absolutely amazes me
that people can look only at who a team loses to and completely ignore the 11 other teams that a team beat when making these decisions. Astounding.
First to identify a TEWWT (so what if it was unintentional)
People that vote like that do it for the media response, only "logical" explanation
HEY LOOK AT ME I IS A DUMB DUMB
Because I felt like it.
They’ve still lost three of their past four and, given how VPI tumbled in my poll, it didn’t seem like they really did anything to improve their standing, since I’ve already factored in that they’re better than VPI.
It is your ballot.
I don’t really care one way or the other, just thought it was peculiar.
I guess playing one tough game, and losing it (Stanford),
is better than playing lots of tough games, and winning them, but losing one game to a team you should have beaten. Just not seeing the method behind this ballot, I guess. Some teams’ ranks seem to be ranked based upon the strength of their wins, while others seem to based upon the quality of their losses. Just a bit confusing why it’s one way in some teams’ cases, while it’s the other way in others.

BC has a system he votes by
but his polls have convinced me that his system is WRONG.
It's 6:20 here in bramlage
And there’s already I would guess over 500 students waiting for tickets… And that’s just what I would guess based off of what I can see… And people think we don’t travel.. Right
