Here we are, once again. Thanks to some weather-induced late games (or at least Tennessee-LSU on Monday and the previously scheduled Tuesday blood-letting in Fresno), I again had to scramble to assemble my BlogPoll for the week. I had a pretty good idea near the top coming in, but it’s getting to be that time of year where a loss can kill ya, but a win after a (not-so-bad) loss can earn some redemption.
\n
\nSouthern Cal – Once the alarm clock went off in the second half, ball game was over.
\nTexas – Beating “bye” was only slightly harder than beating Rice the week before.
\nVirginia Tech – Still impressive. However, the countdown to Frank Beamer bedwetting starts now.
\nFlorida – Don’t know who to feel worse for, the scrubs that will never<\/em> see the field again, no matter the score, or the opponents that are going to start losing games by triple digits.
\nGeorgia – Just enough “meh” in that win in Starkville to stay relatively put.
\nFlorida State – DNP
\nArizona State – Maybe a little high for an untested team, but if they belong here, they’ll earn it on Saturday vs. USC.
\nOhio State – OMG they can<\/em> score in Columbus!
\nTennessee – Once again, they showed up for one of two halves. This time it was the right one.
\nLouisiana State – If all the Les Miles headhunters get their wish, can he qualify for FEMA relief?
\nAlabama – How they’re 4-0 is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. (Then wrapped in a cherry and soaked in low-grade kerosene for a month or two.)
\nMichigan State – Illinois’ mascot has filed a petition with the NCAA that he really is<\/em> offensive to Native Americans, hoping to get a ticket out of Champaign. (No word yet on the NCAA ruling that the Illini in general are offensive to the game of college football.)
\nMiami (Florida) – South Florida should have saved some points for this week.
\nCal – Booya!
\nBoston College – If karma’s a bitch, what does that make Clemson?
\nBrian Calhoun – Someday, maybe the rest of the Badgers can be ranked, too.
\nNotre Dame – I still can’t make a Charlie Weis joke, dammit.
\nUCLA – DNP. Stays put.
\nMinnesota – Freeze, Gopher!
\nVirginia – Impressive enough, but Duke will get their payback come hoops season.
\nIowa State – Even though they struggled with Army, I feel the Cyclones have proven themselves to be a Top 25 team, if only by a hair. Looking at the four below them, maybe only TAMU beats them, but until the Aggies stop playing JV teams, they can stay right there.
\nTexas A&M – Northeast Southern East Texas State could have used Rita on defense. And Scott Bakula.
\nFresno State – Get back in with the late rally, kicking Toledo’s backup QB in the coin purse.
\n\"Rocky
\nSodomy sucks. It’s worse when they do it to you with your own mascot.<\/em>
\nLouisville – Only knowing that they’re really better than that keeps them in the Top 25.
\nPurdue – Minnesota could be the Big 10 darkhorse, losing to them in OT brings no shame. (Okay, 14 spots worth of shame.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
