I'm not trying to influence shit. I'm just promoting discussion. If you're going to vote, why wouldn't you want to debate/defend it?

Ya think?

I vote, but I'm not interested in debate this year. That's why I don't publicize my vote.

Dork boy outsider was rather harsh... (and if it means getting ballots quicker, I'll take all the help I can get)...

As for the beer, another Labatt's Blue please...

texas v. SC, who do you put your life savings on?

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- WEEK 6 10/6, Pg. 55; VOTERS NOTE PG 57!

Here's my ballot for the week ...

1. Texas
2. USC
3. Penn State
4. Alabama
5. Oklahoma
6. Florida
7. Georgia
8. LSU
9. Missouri
10. BYU
11. Utah
12. Oklahoma State
13. Ohio State
14. Kansas
15. Texas Tech
16. Virginia Tech
17. Boise State
18. Michigan State
19. Tulsa
20. Vanderbilt
21. Wake Forest
22. South Florida
23. North Carolina
24. TCU
25. Pittsburgh

Welcome: No. 23 North Carolina, No. 24 TCU, No. 25 Pittsburgh
You suck: ex-No. 18 Illinois, ex-No. 24 Auburn, ex-No. 25 Wisconsin
Last team out: Minnesota
Simmering: (no particular order) Cincinnati, Ball State, Connecticut, Northwestern, Notre Dame, California, Arizona, Oregon, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Boston College, Minnesota, Kentucky, South Carolina, Navy, Fresno State, Western Michigan, West Virginia.

"Leapfrogged": (winning teams that leapfrogged other winning teams from the previous week's poll)

-- Penn State over Alabama (I'm in Three Bags Full's camp on 'Bama, I don't trust them. Besides, Penn State has more impressive victories and the Tide were idle this weekend)

-- Michigan State over Tulsa (I like the Golden Hurricane, but Sparty's played a better schedule)

-- Wake Forest over South Florida (because the Bulls were idle and those two teams are pretty even in the grand scheme of things).

Surprisingly, the carnage in my top 5 from last week allowed Texas to slip right into the No. 1 slot without any leapfrogging.

BYH Memorial Fraud Alert: Alabama and Texas Tech are weekly favorites here. Guns Up nearly went tits up against the Huskers. C'mon Texas Tech, you just know the ass-whipping is coming.

I am also wary of Georgia, LSU, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Michigan State, Wake Forest, South Florida and the always fraud-rich Pitt Panthers.

Random Former Football-Playing School: Boston U.

My poll, with some reasoning. I had a really tough time this week...

1. Texas 5 – very impressive win over my old No. 1
2. Penn State 6 -- thought the W validated them
3. Bammy 2 -- don't like to penalize a non-player, but I’d take the others to win right now.
4. Oklahoma 1 -- thought they got screwed on a few calls and that they’re still a great team.
5. BYU 7 -- They keep winning, they’ll keep sneaking up. I am looking forward to some of these games to get a better handle on them.
6. USC 9 -- A talented team that I’m more and more convinced had a hiccup for whatever reason.
7. Florida NR -- ummm…sorry about that one. I fail for not realizing I had left them out last week.
8. Texas Tech 8 -- not penalizing them for the win, but I’m not moving them up, either.
9. Oklahoma State 16 -- Good win for The Man. Really impressed with the RB Hunter.
10. Mizzou 3 -- Okie St. was better than I thought they were. A chance to redeem themselves next weekend.
11. Georgia 11
12. Utah 12
13. Ohio St. 14
14. Kansas 15
15. Boise St. 13
16. Virginia Tech 17
17. North Carolina 19
18. LSU 4
19. Ball State 21
20. Pitt 22
21. South Florida 18
22. Wake Forest 23
23. Tulsa 24
24. South Florida 18
25. Vandy 11

Do they get medals?

If they win again, Zeke, I promise they'll be ranked in my poll
