Vote BC One of 40 Best FBS Programs

Brian: College football is a little over a month away. Seat backs and tray tables in their upright and locked positions.

While the preseason is making its final descent, but not descending soon enough, ESPN.com's Pat Forde is filling this month's last dead period of college football coverage by rebuilding the FBS. In these tough economic times, it's time to trim back college football's top division. No more I-AA games and games against MAC opponents. No, it's time to rebuild the FBS and only 40 of 120 teams will make the cut.

Be sure and vote Boston College into the top 40. As of this writing, BC was holding onto the 31st spot.

Here was my ballot, which "somewhat" neatly breaks into four divisions of 10:

East
Boston College
Michigan
Michigan State
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Penn State
Pittsburgh
Virginia Tech
West Virginia
Wisconsin

South
Alabama
Auburn
Clemson
Florida
Florida State
Georgia
Georgia Tech
LSU
Miami (FL)
Mississippi

Midwest
Arkansas
Iowa
Kansas
Missouri
Nebraska
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Texas
Texas A&M
Texas Tech

West
Arizona State
BYU
California
Colorado
Oregon
TCU
UCLA
USC
Utah
Washington


Vote. And discuss.
