    And Ball State moves down ... at least it did in the national poll. Not sure why.

    Every week when I redo this, I notice that my 18-25 ranked teams never finish the week with a winning record.

    I just reshuffle those spots every time.

    Maybe you should join his basketball poll and oversleep on poll deadline day, eh?

    :D

    I thought the same thing. And I have no clue why Utah and Penn State swapped spots this week.

    Well, if you look at the numbers, it's not like there is a big difference between the two...

    I know. I just don't see what people would've seen this week to make them change their minds.

    we also have a news set of missing voters too. that could account for the difference of ONE FREAKIN POINT between the two... just a thought.

    I think he agrees with you and doesn't understand how voters could move them up after their display.

    My poll:
    1-5: Texas Tech, Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida. Unchanged. Someone complained that USC's loss is better than Florida's. True. But the Gators are killing people right now. Very impressive.
    6-10: USC, Penn State, Ohio State, Utah, Boise State. Unchanged.
    11-15: Oklahoma State, TCU, Missouri, Georgia, Ball State.
    16-20: BYU, Michigan State, Cincinnati, LSU, Oregon State. LSU drops four after the win. It makes me ill to rank any of these teams.
    21-25: Maryland, Oregon, Pittsburgh, Miami, North Carolina. I give the twerps credit, they've really played well -- for the most part -- since a disastrous start. Didn't want to rank the Heels, but below them is even more garbage.
