- Who says there isn't a playoff in college football? Next week will be a playoff for my number one vote. Whichever team, Alabama or Texas Tech, looks more impressive in its big matchup (LSU and Oklahoma State) will get my top vote next week, unless they both look awful and JoePa's crew beats Iowa by 75.
- Texas doesn't drop far, staying at No. 4, one spot ahead of Oklahoma. The Texas losses pushes OU down one spot despite embarrassing the Huskers.
- I wanted to move Florida up, but I can't justify bumping anyone else down. But, yes Florida, I was impressed.
- Think the Big 12 South is strong? 4 of the top 7 teams on my ballot.
- Spots 8-13 all take one step forward. Thanks Georgia!
- I wanted to bump Missouri down for scaring me senseless in Waco, but I was not about to put Ball State or BYU ahead of Mizzou.
- 15-25 is an absolute, 100 percent pure crapshoot. Feel free to blast away on it at will. As I look back over it, I seem much more lenient on the ACC and Big East than on the Pac 10.
- Really, Tulsa? Arkansas?? That's why everyone's hesitant to put you guys up with the big boys.
- No. 25 is a bit of an overdue shoutout to an under-the-radar Air Force team. For the sake of transparency, I must admit that I have family ties to USAFA, but the successes of Utah, BYU and TCU have masked a very disciplined, very underappreciated Falcon team.

No complaints...
…I’d have probably dropped Minnesota more, and I couldn’t have complained if Tulsa had fallen out altogether, but nothing in the 15-25 range is going to make complete sense. Too much weirdness going on.
And speaking of weirdness…there’s almost no choice but to drop OU, despite the fact that they did nothing wrong whatsoever…whoever gets #5 and #6 probably deserves #4, but oh well.

Thrust nunchuk upward!
No complaints from me, either
The top 14 are solid. There’s not a ton of difference in the rest.
LSU is not a great team, so if Bama rocks them, I wouldn’t be too impressed.
As for squeaking past Baylor, a win is a win. Alabama’s entire season was like that in 1992 until they rocked Miami in the Sugar Bowl.
Ah, Alabama/Miami...
Two words: George Teague.
One of the greatest plays ever, even though it didn’t count:
