It’s all about the teams outside of the BCS Conferences. 4 teams from the outside. Heck, if Bowling Green had beaten Minnesota, they would have been in the mix.

Dropped Out: Cincinnati (#22), Michigan State (#25).

Constructive comments and suggestions appreciated. The final ballot is due on Wednesday.
