Last week's ballot |
Dropped Out: Florida State (#22), North Carolina (#23), Washington (#25).
Some other thoughts... PSU is punished pretty hard for not showing up against Iowa... at home... during a "whiteout" (the concept which they amusingly think they invented). Just no sack, as Boilerdowd put it.
Ole Miss also gets punished -- not because South Carolina isn't a good team, but because people were questioning them as a top ten team and their first sort of test and they poop the bed.
And then there's Cal.... who went to Autzen Stadium, where Purdue almost pulled out a victory, and got dump trucked by Oregon. Sorry, but if you're a top ten team, you don't lose by 39 to an unranked team. In fact, if you're ranked at all you shouldn't lose by 39 to an unranked team, ever.
Thoughts/comments welcome. As in previous weeks, we'll take it under advisement and make adjustments and the official ballot will be up by Wednesday morning.

I'm trying to figure out why Iowa didn't move. They have wins over 3 FBS teams. First game jitters aside, that's more impressive than most. Throw in that they knocked off what was a top 10 team on the road at night. Just seems strange.
It's not that Iowa didn't move -- they did, actually. We didn't have them ranked at all previously and now they're #22. So you're saying they should be higher? Perhaps...
