| Last week's ballot | ||
1 Alabama - It's time to admit it. This is the best team in the country. Damn it.
2 Florida - I'm truly fascinated how Meyer will handle Tebow's injury. Concussions are treated like a minor injury, but really, it's a wound to the brain. That seems like a big deal. Even for a football player.
3 LSU - Deep breaths, everyone. Maybe LSU will play a game not during a tsunami. And maybe they'll find a deep snapper who doesn't give away 11 points in one friggin game.
4 Auburn - Thank God they finally play an SEC team so we can get a read on them... wait... it's Tennessee? Nevermind.
5 Georgia - Every time I get frustrated by how inconsistent LSU is, I think of UGa and smile. Which is why I think their going to beat us by 30.
6 South Carolina - A dangerous team who can beat, or lose to, anyone in the conference.
7 Ole Miss - Vanderbilt is probably the tonic that cures their ills right now.
8 Arkansas - The coaching staff is scouring craig's list for a listing selling a defense.
9 Tennessee - Ohio probably should have lost to North Texas. Just pointing that out.
10 Mississippi State - That wasn't a moral victory, that was a vicious punch to the gut.
11 Kentucky - 31 first quarter points allowed. I have nothing to say.
12 Vanderbilt - It's kind of comforting to see them back in the basement of the Power Poll.

I would slot us just behind Auburn based on resume
The Washington win lost a little luster so we can’t say it’s better than their win over West Virgina and they beat Miss. St. a lot more convincingly than we did.
I’d bump Michigan just behind Iowa. They may have a suspect defense but Forcier looks like the real deal. And I wouldn’t have dropped Miami quite so far. They still have the BYU pelt and wins over FSU and Georgia Tech, even if they laid an egg against VT.
Iowa's resume'
4-0. Beat Northern Iowa by 1 to open season. UNI has won 3 games by a combined 117 points since then. Beat Arizona, a 3-1 team with a win over Oregon St. That victory as good as beating Washington, IMO. And of course, they also beat Penn State on the road. IMO, they do not belong behind USC or LSU.

You're right
I’m punishing them too much in my mind for the close win over UNI. No team they have beaten has a loss to a team other than Iowa.

And yet another FCS team is on their slate..
Will that one come down to the last second? They are overrated in my book. I think Michigan should be ranked over them. 15-20 range for Iowa would be about right.
Props for rating Houston above LSU
At this point they deserve it more. They may deserve it more than Cincinatti. Hell, based solely on what they’ve done, they probably deserve it more than Florida!

Was destroying the same State team that we barely survived not enough?
Not really, no.
I’m sorry, you don’t get many points for beating State. I have no idea HOW good Auburn is. I know they are pretty good, but I’m not sure HOW good.

Like your top 8
Except… I dont like Boise State… Until Boise State plays a schedule that has some decent meat to it, I have a difficult time thinking of them in the same sentence with ANY SEC team. They played Oregon whose has beaten who?, Cal… Cal is nothing but a setup for USC, so USC can beat them and provide some justification for being ranked. Cal does this every year… watch, they will end up 7 – 5… And… after all the hot air released justifying not being too concerned about LSU, and you drop LSU two spots… Hey they are 4 – 0. And I still dont much care for USC and Ohio State being where they are, but I dont see a lot of love being shown Auburn right now and I think they are gonna be a really tough team to beat… just saying.
Boise
I’ve been avoiding ranking them this highly, but the performance of Oregon raises the quality of their win. BSU is very “jumpable”, but they have the better resume right now. As other teams start playing within their conference, I expect Boise to start dropping.
