2005 Blog Awards

In the wake of some questionable omissions from the 2005 Weblog Awards, the good guys at Burnt Orange Nation have put together their own awards for the college football blogs.

There's a vote out there right now for "Best Sports Blog," which is a fine idea in principle. But a cursory glance at the "finalists" leaves one wondering what, exactly, the criteria were when selecting the nominees. It's like going to vote for Hottest Hollywood Actress and finding that both Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Anniston are missing from the finalists. Huh?

So, we're here to set the record straight and give you, the readers, the real guide to the best sports blogs out there. Sort of. In the spirit of Bowl Month, we're going to stick to college football and give you a readers guide to the best college football blogs out there.

Great, great, great idea. They even had something nice to say about Fanblogs!

We've covered these guys plenty. They cover every team, from every angle, with links to anyone and everyone. The ultimate college football blog. A Microsoft compared to the rest of us (intended compliment).

Not sure we're "the ultimate college football blog", but we definitely appreciate being among high company.
