    I agree with Hammer.
    The top 5 or 6 teams are easy to slot, but after that, it's a tossup.

    BTW, I was the person who put Minnesota at 25 last week. Just for the record.

    I do what I can. However, despite their victory, they are out... but they were like 26. I wanted to give ND some love, couldn't take out some teams who didn't play (not their fault they don't have a full schedule or a bye in Week 3) and I couldn't totally boot out Ohio State, although I could have. Picks 10-25 in the poll were pretty difficult to do this week. Minnesota will be back in my poll if they keep winning.

    Vacationing in Vegas...so don't have time to look at anyone else's poll. Here's mine:

    1-5: USC, Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida, Missouri. Trojans have been my number one all year. Sooners move up to two, as Bulldogs drop one. It's the tight win combined with the injuries. Not as confident about Bulldogs as I would be about the top 2.

    6-10: LSU, Wisconsin, Texas, Auburn, Alabama. Watched just about all of Wisconsin-Fresno, and was really impressed with the Badgers. Tough win on road, even though starting QB is kayoed for awhile and home refs almost screwed them. Showed a lot of poise. Thought about switching Auburn and Alabama, but even in a 3-2 game, I give weight to win on road versus SEC opponent over win at home over 1-2 human shields.

    11-15: East Carolina, Texas Tech, Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State. Pirates rose three spots despite close victory, but it's not entirely unexpected that they would sleepwalk through Tulane after their opening two wins. Fact is, they found a way to win what was a classic trap game, and I like that. Really debated what to do with the Buckeyes. I don't trust any college coach about injuries, and until I know for sure that Wells is back and healthy, I will keep them low. They've proven they are not that good without him. Do not deserve to be ranked ahead of Penn State until he returns.

    16-20: South Florida, Wake Forest, BYU, Illinois, Kansas. Don't understand why BYU is so high in the polls. If anything, the result yesterday indicates how bad Tennessee is. Illinois hasn't been great, but only loss is to number 5 team, although, if Williams doesn't get better, Big Ten season will be ugly.

    21-25: Utah, Vanderbilt, Florida State, Fresno State, West Virginia. Vandy beat South Carolina, which gave Georgia a hell of a game. That puts them in the poll for me. Fresno stays in because Wisconsin is pretty good, and I'm not sure anyone else I considered could have been that close, even at home.

    BYU can't be that low, can they? They just beat UCLA 59-0! ucla isn't that bad, are they? You put up 60 on a pac-10 team, you have to get some respect.
