Blogpoll Draft: The Top Looks Pretty Good Anyway

I hate this week's ballot and will be promptly taking a sledgehammer, chainsaw and blowtorch to this sucker next week. Boise State is as high as I could possibly ever place them, expect a steady fall from here on out as the resume bottoms out. Florida, Texas, Alabama and a bunch of I don't know follows. Throw in your 2 cents. Corrections, suggestions and objections are always welcome.

Games Watched: Hawaii/Louisiana Tech, Colorado/West Virginia, Pitt/Louisville, Michigan/Michigan State, South Florida/Syracuse, Purdue/Northwestern, Oklahoma/Miami, Auburn/Tennessee and Arkansas/Texas A&M. Real life only allowed me to watch the first, listen to the second quarter in the car and miss the entire second half of Penn State/Illinois.

Last week's ballot

Dropped Out: Houston (#16), Georgia (#18), California (#25).


Moving Up:
Auburn - Lighting it up under Malzahn, until he gets wise and skips town after this year before he's run off with torches.

Wisconsin - Survived their bout with the flu bug, now see how they handle Ohio State. Everything nose dived about this time last year.

Moving Down:
Michigan - Fortunate to even force OT against Michigan State, still looking like a work in progress.

Cal - Watch video for how this season turned.
