Tech (#22), Pittsburgh (#24).<\/div>\n<p>Now, my reasons (though this week, they&#8217;re REALLY few and far between, since I felt the process flowed pretty well, and I didn&#8217;t feel like anyone was too out of place, either high or low):<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nMichigan might be a tad high, but in the words of <a href=\"https:\/\/haveyoumettony.com\/tom\">Tom<\/a>, a former blogger around these parts and OSU alum, in the voicemail I alluded to on Saturday, &#8220;Sweet fancy Moses! What the f*ck happened with that team?!?! Dear holy God! It&#8217;s bizarre enough that I&#8217;m rooting, cheering, yelling for Michigan, that makes me feel dirty in itself &#8230; at least fatass is going down hard. I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;ll console himself with a side of beef and 6-8 pies. That&#8217;s all I&#8217;ve got, I just wanted to say &#8216;sweet fancy Moses&#8217; to someone. Bye.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Yes, sweet fancy 4th-ranked Moses indeed. Of course, the next five weeks of &#8220;top of the Little 8&#8221; goodness will either solidify this position or send the currently raucous U-M fanbase into a tailspin, but that&#8217;s not what this poll is for this week, is it? <\/p>\n<p>Help or no, Auburn and Oregon got the job done, albeit it a little close for comfort and at home in each case. Auburn is only penalized a hair because of the number USC did on Nebraska, without too much help from the officials. Besides, spots 2-6 or 7 are damn near interchangeable at this point, from week to week in my opinion. LSU only drops five spots, while Oklahoma drops a bunch, because they handled their loss like a bunch of little bitches. Not just Saturday afternoon, not even Sunday morning, but <a href=\"http:\/\/sports.espn.go.com\/ncf\/news\/story?id=2594808\">its still going<\/a>. WAAAAH!<\/p>\n<p>I had initially tried to get Rutgers in at 24, if only for putting Ohio U. fans in their drug-induced place, but Michigan State actually looked impressive in what I saw of them at Pittsburgh, who I previously had ranked. Don&#8217;t worry, Scarlet Knights, MSU only has six wins each season, and they done used up three of &#8217;em already!<\/p>\n<p>WHAT I WATCHED: Rotated through OSU-UC, MSU-Pitt, Iowa-Iowa State&#8230; caught glimpses of CMU-Akron, Kent State-Miami(OH) and Buffalo-NIU and the whole BG-FIU game online&#8230; most of the UM-ND game, although parts of that were tough to watch in the late stages, and I&#8217;m pretty sure was illegal in most states (I&#8217;m kidding, I watched most of it and loved damn near all of it)&#8230; some USC-Nebraska (funny looking ankle injuries aside), the end of Florida-Tennessee&#8230; some Ball State-Purdue&#8230; and here-and-there glimpses of Indiana losing one to a I-AA school for their coach. AH! And the end of Army-A&#038;M, where common sense took a backseat during the last <strike>two<\/strike> stupid sweep of a running play when a shot at the endzone THEN a running play would have been the move to make. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/maizenbrew.blogspot.com\/2006\/09\/blog-poll-round-table-after-darkness.html\">Maize N Brew<\/a> has the new roundtable up, and it looks kind of fun. That can come tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve stuck with me this long, Episode 2 of &#8220;Rolling Along: The Podcast&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bgsusports.com\/podcast\">is also available<\/a>, if you&#8217;re down for 31 minutes of BGSU chatter.
