That's a good idea but who is going to keep track of it? It would be just as biased though & the schools with the most fans would have the advantage.

Perhaps elect a couple dozen unbiased pollsters & make their ballots public to ensure that they are indeed unbiased.

Have somebody that is neutral from all D1.

IMO someone from the Peking Opera would be a better choice. A Bolshoi dancer would have some exposure to American football. They travel a good bit. Peking Opera doesn't.

Ah, but the point is that David referred specifically to "ballet" therefore to fine someone qualified on that point to pick a top 25 you would want an expert and those come from the Bolshoi.

Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung trained in Peking Opera. It's not your traditional opera, considering that martial arts is a key component in their training. I'd give a kung fu expert's opinion a little more weight than a ballet dancer on American football.

Quite ... and while they would likely be fans of NBA BBall, they wouldn't be likely to have much awareness of NCAA BBall, let alone American Rules Football.
