BlogPoll, Week 8 — Pulling Teeth

Filed under: Uncategorized — Chas @ 2:00 pm

This isn’t getting any easier after the top 5 or so. Would it have been too much to ask if UConn could have somehow found a way, even with the #3 QB to beat Cinci. Then, just for a week, I could have kept two Big East teams in the top-25. It really doesn’t help Big East credibility to have to acknowledge that Rutgers is #2 in the BE at this point in the season. It would have been better for a program like UConn — working at the Div. 1-A level for only 2 years or so — to be in that spot than Rutgers.

The full results of the blogpoll are here. You can see indvidual ballots, here.

My Ballot.

  1. Southern Cal – Not unbeatable, but unbeaten
  2. Texas – Making it look easy
  3. Virginia Tech – DNP
  4. Georgia – Yawn
  5. Miami (Florida) – I almost want to drop them a spot for having Duke and Temple back-to-back
  6. Alabama – But, for how long? How long until the lack of depth and injuries do them in?
  7. Notre Dame – Here’s a scary thought for whatever team has to face ND in a bowl game: Charlie Weis will have a month or so to prepare his team.
  8. Louisiana State – Shaky coach, shaky team, lots of talent
  9. UCLA – Call it East Coast bias, but this team feels like a paper-tiger
  10. Auburn – One early season upset loss from being unbeaten
  11. Texas Tech – See UCLA
  12. Florida State – My questions were about the offense, what happened to the D against UVA?
  13. Ohio State – Who knows anything in the Big 11 this year
  14. Tennessee – DNP
  15. Boston College – Escaped the Demon Deacons, injuries seem to be mounting
  16. Penn State – Plenty of pain in Happy Valley. Gut punch of a loss and WR Williams done for the season
  17. West Virginia – Yes, they are in the Big East, but only loss has come against VT
  18. Michigan State – You tell me
  19. Oregon – I don’t know
  20. Wisconsin – Didn’t Glen Mason watch that Monday Night game between Denver and New England where the Patriots let the ball go out of the back of the endzone for a safety rather than risk the big mistake?
  21. TCU – I guess
  22. Florida – Only thing keeping them in the rankings is the sheer talent, and how slim the pickings are at this point
  23. Fresno State – Yeah. Sure. Why not
  24. Nebraska – Again, someone has to win the Big 12 North
  25. Oregon State – I’d feel better about them, but for that blow-out loss to Louisville

In: TCU, Wisconsin, Oregon St., Fresno St., Nebraska.

Out: Baylor, Cal, Colorado, Arizona St., Louisville

Standing by: Damned if I have any idea at this point.
