“Out of the Bowels of the ESPN CFB Top 25 Message Board”

Comes a media like no other media. A media whose only agenda is, to have NO agenda. Whose only bias is, the bias against being bias! Whose only..uh…ok…Ill stop…COMES CFBMedia.com
We here at CFBMedia.com are dedicated to bringing you the voice of YOU, the fan. If you are tired of seeing the same ol’ polls, the same ol’ opinions without having your voice heard, then this is the media avenue for you
With this site, the fan will have a say in the content, such as these completely random, yet relevant topic selections from the ESPN CFB Message Board:
“What do women prefer?” by GoBucks187
“Lamest Possible Combo of Musicians” by Dwhite8080
“I’m Almost a Regular!!!” by RollTidejw7
“Grossest Thing You’ve Seen in Person” by EvenDrunkerUte
Hmmm, ok, well maybe the fan will not have a say in ALL of the content, but our Top25 polls come from you, the fan and will be made public for all to see (and bash) every week as opposed to the coaches and journalists who have previously kept their votes private.
The voters were selected from members of the ESPN board from across the country….(yes, even in those areas that most of us thought didn’t even have computers!) who have demonstrated an unbiased and informed opinion on college football and are looked upon amongst their peers as gurus of the game. Here was how I believe one of my favorite people had their preseason top 5 :
SweetUVAGirlie: 1. Kentucky 2. Uconn 3. NE. Southern Virginia Academy A&M 4. Wake Forest 5. Baylor
I mean, come on…you just don’t get unbiased fan opinions like this anywhere else!
And just so you can see what our knowledgeable staff has to say, here is a quick preview of my Top 5:
1. Boise 2. BSU 3. Boise State 4. The BSU Broncos 5. OU Sooners
OK…Not really. No way the Sooners will be a top 5 team this year!

But as you can see, this is one reason why CFBMedia.com and our polls were created. It was the idea of our two founders (Jason and Tim) to try to come up with a way to take as much bias out of voting for the Top 25 as possible. By taking knowledgeable fans from across the country, coming up with a strict, but fair set of rules for the voters, we are able to provide a Top 25 representative of an entire nation of fans.
The fan will also have a say in our CFBMedia.com National Champion. Each year we will award the National Champion the fans of college football see fit. What more could you ask for?
Let’s review, because I’m sure I have left off few key features you will want to know about. CFBMedia.com allows the fan to vote for their Top 25. Allows you, the fan, to see these votes. You will be able to sound off in a mailbox directly to the staff about what you think of these polls. Play pick’ems against all fans and media staff (no worries when you all lose to me…the all knowing Boise Homer….I won’t rub it your faces…..much), and maybe the most important point can’t be reiterated enough….CFBMedia.com is the voice of ….you.
Has the season started yet?
