cartman's FOFC/SGS College Football Top 25, End of Season edition, open for voting

[cartman]

WOW, what a way to end the 2005 college football season! There were a ton of great bowl games over the past couple of weeks, ending with the "Granddaddy of them all". Take a few days to reflect on it all. Votes are due in by 8pm Central time, Sunday Jan. 8th, 2006. The final poll is open to anyone who voted in a previous poll this season, and I hope that all previous submitters send one in.

Here is how the final regular season Top 25 fared in their bowl games:

Don't get me wrong, because UNC is probably my second favorite school, but at 5-6 they are #12? Too much value to strength of schedule.

Yeah, I was thinking of just this. I'll extend until tomorrow night at 8pm. I just had something come up for this evening, so I wouldn't be able to compile the poll anyway.
