Blogpoll Draft: Burning the Whole Thing Down

Last week, I was third in the "Mr. Stubborn" category, meaning I had very little change in my poll comparatively speaking to everyone else. Suffice to say I doubt my inclusion in the Top 5 there this week after doing some small work with a sledgehammer. I feel relatively comfortable in Florida, Texas and Alabama at the top, after that it's pretty interchangeable. I didn't draft this in the best of moods and will be revisiting it before its final. Corrections, suggestions and objections are always welcome.

Games watched: Ole Miss/South Carolina, Missouri/Nevada, Ohio State/Illinois, South Florida/Florida State and Iowa/Penn State.

Last week's ballot

Dropped Out: Penn State (#6), North Carolina (#15), Florida State (#24).

Moving Up:
Iowa/Virginia Tech/Oregon - Complete and utter overreaction really. Iowa is the shakiest at 5, but would take a Stanzi led offense over Taylor or Masoli. Virginia Tech and Oregon each only lost to Top 4 teams giving them the best loss arguments right now.

Moving Down:
Ole Miss/Cal - Ugly blowout losses, 'nuff said.

BYU/Oklahoma - blowback from Miami and Florida State losses.

Penn State - Purely emotional. I can take a blowout loss, but seeing lackadaisical effort and execution in multiple facets instead of passion isn't going to cut it.
