Back from the dead?

Who knows if it’ll last, but one nice thing about what’s gone down so far this season is that the hot preseason take that we’d all be just waiting for the inevitable Alabama-Clemson rematch for the natty has morphed into the general perception that at least five other teams have injected themselves into the national championship debate.

Which leads me to take the temperature about a subject I haven’t pursued in several seasons:  is there interest in resurrecting the Mumme Poll this season?

You may recall that I put the MP to bed after participation in it dwindled to fewer than two dozen folks.  I wouldn’t be interested in bringing it back unless than number jumped back up to around 100.

But I do notice there are a couple of new national fan polls making the rounds this year, although neither are based on the same guidelines as the Mumme Poll.  A brief refresher as to what those are:  in its last incarnation, we went to a purer approval voting approach.  Instead of selecting a specific number of teams, each voter was allowed to choose as many or as few teams as he or she thought deserved to be considered in the national conversation.  If you wanted to pick a top ten, fine.  If you simply wanted to fill out a national playoff bracket, cool.  If, like me, you only wanted to choose those teams you thought could win a national title, all good.

That made for the easiest, fastest ballot selection I ever went through.  My last ballot took less than 30 seconds to pick.

Anyway, I’m just asking if there’s enough interest from y’all to bring it back.  Let me know in the comments.  Remember, it doesn’t start until after six weeks of games have been played, which would mean after this week’s slate.
