Blogpoll: Now With Respectability?

This weekend served as the calm before the storm, only one upset of note in South Florida. We should have a better idea of pecking order by the games on the schedule this week with Texas/Oklahoma, Oklahoma State/Missouri, LSU/Florida and Penn State/Wisconsin all on deck. I'm not particularly happy with a lot of the spots I have some teams in, so next week could be a good opportunity to right the ship. Corrections, suggestions and objections are always welcome.

Games watched: Louisiana Tech/Boise State, Pitt/South Florida, Oregon State/Utah, Penn State/Purdue, Iowa/Michigan State, Rutgers/West Virginia, Minnesota/Indiana, Kansas/Iowa State, Illinois/Michigan, Kentucky/Alabama, Florida State/Miami, Auburn/Vanderbilt, UConn/North Carolina, Ohio State/Wisconsin and Missouri/Nebraska.

Dropped Out: Auburn (#19), Fresno State (#20).


Moving Up:
Illinois - Moving a two-loss team back into the Top 25 ahead of unbeaten and one-loss teams? In this case, the Illini lost to two Top 7 teams and look impressive since their off week.

Ball State - They just keep winning, can't keep them out any longer.

Moving Down:
South Florida - Looking at it again, the drop I gave them reeks of overreaction and it probably is since I have Kansas at 12(ugh, one of those teams I don't like in their spot), but the Bulls lost to Pitt, at home and the game didn't seem as close as the score indicated.

Auburn - Auburn's offense is a black hole from which nothing good can be seen, if their defense doesn't score, as it did against LSU and Tennessee, then they have little chance to win games.
