This weeks poll was a little bit easier.

Really no changes at the top and the bottom half of the poll looks to be about right...

What did I miss...

Oregon St. might be a bit too high...

I expect a certain amount of grief for this.

Discuss...

OK, here is this weeks poll.

I am not sure about Navy...I will admit that is more a sentimental vote. Should Stanford make the poll? Oregon St. breaks into this weeks poll, as does Wisconsin. SC is lucky to stay at 12 I was considering moving them down but then I would have to move tOSU down and I think they are playing some great football right now. Going into Happy Valley and getting the win is impressive and Pryor looked pretty good.

Anyway let me know your thoughts...Where am I wrong?

OK...Here it is.

I actually wanted to put SC lower but I just could not do it. The bottom of the poll perplexes me...

Where am I wrong?

Last week's ballot

Dropped Out: Brigham Young (#16), Texas Tech (#20), Kansas (#21).

OK, so I got a chance to watch a few games yesterday.

I got a little bold putting SC ahead of UF...I am sure I will take some heat on this but UF has not played for all the hype I have been reading.

Texas stays at #2 because that was a rivalry game and they pulled through. That is the reason why I kept Oklahoma in at #25...they played great in the first half on defense but they just could not get it done.

So, fire away let me where I am wrong...

Is Boise still too high? What about Cincy? Remember we are trying not be like the official polls but we are trying to be as legit as possible. No whack job ballots here...
