Tidying Up At The End Of The Day

Sorry, late posting of my Blogpoll again, last time I promise there is light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately, the further this season goes, the more I'm under the impression there is no dominant team and anyone in the Top 20 could beat one another on any given day. That being said, hate on it all you want but it'll undergo another drastic change next week. Sorry for leaving Texas Tech off, that's my bad will make amends after Texas A&M (barring a huge upset).

Games Watched: Boise State/Tulsa, Cincinnati/South Florida, Texas/Oklahoma, Iowa/Wisconsin, Minnesota/Penn State, Virginia Tech/Georgia Tech, South Carolina/Alabama, Missouri/Oklahoma State and Washington/Arizona State.

Last week's ballot

Dropped Out: Oklahoma (#20), South Carolina (#22).


Yes, Florida is still number 1. As Ric Flair says, "To be the man, you gotta beat the man." They're still undefeated, so they're still the man. Iowa and Alabama have the stronger argument for the top, just barely went with Bama in number 2 slot. Cincy jumps way up and really are the lone hope in the Big East even though Pitt got a mercy nod (probably should have been Texas Tech instead). I'm this close to switching Boise St. and TCU, I think TCU is a dramatically better team but not ready to pull the trigger, wait and see how they deal with BYU this week. There are glaring issues with pretty much every team 7 through 18. If you're really interested throw a team you want to hear more about in the comments and I'll give you more.
