  • This ballot is yours to bury. I swear the Big East and the ACC are making it impossible for me to rank 15-25.
  • Not a lot of movement at the top thanks to a rather dull week in college football. Florida may be playing some of the best football in the country, and gets a bump for thoroughly dismantling South Carolina.
  • Oklahoma drops one spot as a result, but I feel comfortable doing so with the Sooners having an opportunity to catapult themselves up the ballot with a win over Tech next week.
  • At some point, I've got to punish Boise for being in a mediocre conference, right? At least Utah will have gone through TCU and BYU if they go undefeated.
  • I think Missouri is starting to find its final sweet spot in the 9-11 range. As disappointing as the OSU and Texas games were, Missouri could very well finish as a Top 10 team once again.
  • Oregon State is quietly playing some great football right now, and could really screw with the BCS for qualifying for the Rose Bowl.
  • The rest of the ballot? Take it for what it's worth. I'm in no way married to the bottom of the ballot, so if you have a convincing argument, hit me.

A couple of things I would say

I know everybody is doing it, but there is NO WAY Ball State is one of the top 14 teams in the country … or top 16 … or top 20. Watch them on one of their Tuesday night specials. They’re just not that good, and a team like Georgia would eat them alive.
Really, really tough to have TCU so low. They dominated BYU and are ahead of them by only one spot and should have really won at Utah (missed two FGs, had the lead late in a 13-10 loss) and they’re 10 spots behind?
