Blogpoll: Top Heavy, Be Careful Around Turns


Holding steady at the top this week, but built to spill with a several big games on the docket. After the top 15, it's messy as hell resembling something like this:

Corrections, suggestions and objections are always welcome.

Games Watched: Florida State/NC State, BYU/TCU, Hawaii/Boise State, Wisconsin/Iowa, Georgia Tech/Clemson, Michigan/Penn State, Missouri/Texas and LSU/South Carolina.

Dropped Out: Wake Forest (#17), California (#19), Michigan State (#20), Kansas (#23), North Carolina (#24), Vanderbilt (#25).


Moving Up:
TCU - might be the best non-BCS school out there right now even with one loss (to Oklahoma).

Tulsa - in the time it took me to type this they gained another hundred yards.

Moving Down:
BYU - would have dropped out of the poll completely if there weren't so many other teams didn't lose.

Big East/ACC - neither conference really has any teams that are impressing me in any way, they make an appearance for the simple fact I need 25 slots filled.
