7 Days Ladies and Gentlemen.
7 Days from today the Maroon and White will don the shoulder pads and helmets in the 2011 season opener.
7 Days from today we invade Memphis, no not to go to a Three Six Mafia concert or visit Graceland (okay, we might visit Graceland), but to travel to the Liberty Bowl to watch our beloved Bulldogs start out the year against the University of Memphis Tigers.
Each week on Monday, when you're still possibly hungover from a Saturday night at Mugshots or you're angry that you got smashed in fantasy football yesterday, OR you're just sad because it's Monday, SBNation bloggers from around the country will be submitting their ballots for the BlogPoll, SBNation's Top 25 College Football poll as voted on by its writers. Each week I will post my ballot here for discussion, explanation, reader review and most likely ridicule.
Check for my Ballot, along with some explanation for placement after the jump

SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "
I doubt that most of these rankings need explanation, as these teams are generally ranked in a range similar to this in both the AP and USAToday/ESPN Top 25 Polls. Nevertheless, here's a brief explanation of why each team was ranked initially where they are:
