FOR: The best blog started within the past year. CRITERIA: Must have launched sometime after last year's national championship game. Transitioning to a new blog or affiliating with a network mid-stream doesn't count. |
||
FOR: The funniest blog. (AKA "The Award Winner For Winning The Most Clumsily Named Award Category Winner Award Award," AKA "The Trev") CRITERIA: The funniest college football blog. |
||
FOR: Cogent, interesting analysis. CRITERIA: Emphasis placed on statistical manipulation, well researched pieces that reveal something new, and/or solid argumentative pieces that function as the authoritative last word on a subject |
||
FOR: The best blog rocked by an Official Journalist. For the purposes of this category, "Official Journalist" is anyone blogging in said capacity at either a newspaper website or one of the big internet sites like SI.com or ESPN.com; Official Journalists with indie side projects go elsewhere. |
||
FOR: The best photoshop or other gag of the year. CRITERIA: Could be a photoshop, a Motivational Poster, an On Notice Board, a fictional post, or something similar, as long as it elicited more than a mere smile. |
||
FOR: The blog best keeping tabs on the man and calling out all of the injustices in the college football world. CRITERIA: Consistently ahead-of-the-curve on controversial issues in college football. |
||
FOR: The prettiest blog, the best layout and design. CRITERIA: An aesthetic appeal, whether from a stylish banner, a pleasing layout, or an eye-catching incorporation of blog technology. |
||
FOR: The blog that has suffered through its chosen team’s dismal season with the most dignity. CRITERIA: Continued engagement in the face of crippling, misery-inducing defeat. A stiff-upper lip and sane reaction to everything crumbling to dust. |
||
FOR: A somewhat abstract category, this is either for the best (semi-) regularly produced college football podcast or the single best piece of audio put out by the college football blogosphere during the year. CRITERIA: Uh, must be audio. And about college football, you know. Note that this is "podcast" in a really broad sense. Parody songs, incoherent ravings about Tyrone Willingham, and whatever else you've got are nominateable. One restriction: it has to be self-generated. |
||
FOR: The best recurring feature of the year. CRITERIA: The feature should be posted weekly and be generally good and stuff. |
||
Friday Morning Quarterback,by Sunday Morning Quarterback |
||
|
||
FOR: The blog with the best community interaction. CRITERIA: A regular solicitation of input from readers and utilization of reader-produced content. |
||
FOR: The blog with the most consistently expressive and excellent writing. CRITERIA: Mechanical competency, yes, but the ability to turn a devastatingly funny phrase or write something compelling is probably more important. This isn't an award for copy editing; it's an award for kickin' prose. |
||
FOR: The finest individual post of the college football year. CRITERIA: Best post for whatever reason. |

Blogger Championship Series...it's just like that other BCS except completely different. We'll be handing out Best Blog awards for each of the BCS conferences, plus one for mid-major coverage (including all independents other than Notre Dame), and one for more general, national coverage blogs. After long debate we decided to put Notre Dame blogs in with the Big East, as the "non-BCS" category is supposed to be an award for mid-majors, which Notre Dame is certainly not. Since ND shares bowl affiliations with the Big East and plays the rest of their sports there, it seemed the logical choice. |
