Here's my final 2012 Blogpoll bracket.
I tried to give higher rankings to bowl winners with nice records and and ranked those top 25 by their relative strength of schedule. Stanford is 5 because I believe the Pac 12 is legitimately strong. I have nowhere to put Ohio State since the Buckeyes didn't play a bowl, but they did finish with the best record in the nation, so # 3 it is.
The only other difficulty I found was ranking the good 2-loss mid-majors. Utah State came out on top of that decision losing only to BYU (by 3pts), Wisconsin (2 pts.) and beating a very strong San Jose State team on the road.
