BlogPoll Week 11, Draft

Filed under: Bloggers,Football,Polls — Chas @ 10:07 am

It’s bad. That 3-loss teams are making it into the rankings just speaks to the lack of worthy teams.

Rank Team Delta
1 Texas Tech 2
2 Alabama 1
3 Florida 2
4 Texas
5 Oklahoma 1
6 Southern Cal 1
7 Utah 1
8 Penn State 6
9 Ohio State 2
10 Boise State
11 Oklahoma State 2
12 Ball State 2
13 Georgia 1
14 Missouri 2
15 Brigham Young 4
16 North Carolina 10
17 Michigan State 6
18 Cincinnati 2
19 TCU 6
20 Florida State 6
21 Oregon State 4
22 LSU 7
23 California 5
24 West Virginia 7
25 South Carolina 1
Dropped Out: Georgia Tech (#21), Northwestern (#22), Maryland (#24).

You bet I’m not ranking Pitt. They haven’t shown they can handle the success of being ranked in the BlogPoll. Granted there is no rational reason not to rank them. Just irrational fear on my part.

UNC took the biggest leap. I actually like the way they are playing a lot. Butch Davis has gotten results quickly. I just get hesitant to trust them with all of their injuries and an erratic pass defense.





Great job Chas! No need to jinx the team. Let’s win that River City Trophy on the 22nd.

In the Espn poll were ranked 21! But ther work doesnt stop yeat.Great win Saturday but its time to move forward and think about continuing the trend of keeping the River City trophy!

Great win, but time to move forward which is what the teams like Florida, Texas, and USC due after a nice win.

Where on a roll let’s keep it going! Let’s go PITT!

If Pitt wins it again this year we should call it the Three-River-City-Trophy.

In my opinion, you jinxed them by being afraid to jinx them. Good job. We’re f*****g dead unless we suit up in the throwback Pitt uniforms v. Cincy.

Pitt-Cincy game on National TV, ESPN 2, 7:15 kickoff!

it’s almost like we have a real football program now… my buddies down here in school that went to TX, OU, UF, UGA, LSU, etc for undergrad are starting to believe me that we’re good… hope we can keep it going.

how many games do you guys think notre dame has to lose before the gator bowl would extend an invite to an actual big east team?

Comment by Greg in New Orleans 11.10.08 @ 2:56 pm

Greg, ND would have received a bid to Cotton Bowl with up to 3 L’s, for the Gator Bowl, it’s up to 4 L’s.

It’s time that the players, coaches, and fans EXPECT rankings. No more of this not ranking the team for superstitious reasons. No more getting fired up at the chance of upsetting a big team. No more worrying that we’ll play down to an opponent’s talent level.

I can’t wait for the day when everyone from the chancelor down to all of us monday (sunday) morning quarterbacks gets pissed when it’s even in question that we might fall out of the top 25. I want to be competing for a BCS game each year. I want to CONSISTENTLY beat up on all of the teams that we’re supposed to.

We have 3 HUGE games left. With a little help, I think that if we can win 2 of them, we will be on that path. The Steelers and Pens aren’t playing too well right now, and I think some casual Pittsburgh fans are starting to notice that Pitt football is in a great position now. The next two games are on national tv, we can do wonders for this program if we win them.

LETS GO PITT
