    Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- WEEK 3 (9-15), Page 37

    My poll:
    1-5: USC, Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida, LSU.
    6-10: Missouri, Wisconsin, Texas, Alabama, Auburn. I dropped Auburn only one spot, (flip with Alabama) which was a difficult decision. Last week, my 11-15 was East Carolina/Texas Tech/Oregon/Penn State/Ohio State. Obviously, the Pirates and Ducks lost. The Buckeyes were not getting that kind of jump. And, I remain unconvinced by the Red Raiders and Nittany Lions. My opinion on the latter two may change in the next few weeks, but, as of now, I would not drop Auburn below them after a tight loss to my number five team in the country.
    11-15: Texas Tech, Penn State, South Florida, BYU, Wake Forest.
    16-20: Ohio State, Illinois, Kansas, Utah, Boise State
    21-25: Vanderbilt, Oregon, Clemson, Fresno State, East Carolina. Commodores were in my poll last week, so I moved them up. Really debated Clemson and TCU, but since Alabama is in my top 10, I gave the Tigers the benefit. Pirates don't deserve to drop out in my book, even though NC State is awful. However, history is proving that their first two wins are not as big as originally believed, and another loss will take them out.

    Here's what Slappy got from me ...

    1. USC
    2. Florida
    3. Oklahoma
    4. Georgia
    5. LSU
    6. Missouri
    7. Texas
    8. Wisconsin
    9. Alabama
    10. South Florida
    11. Auburn
    12. Utah
    13. BYU
    14. Wake Forest
    15. Penn State
    16. Illinois
    17. Kansas
    18. Texas Tech
    19. Vanderbilt
    20. Ohio State
    21. East Carolina
    22. Oregon
    23. Nebraska
    24. Boise State
    25. Fresno State

    Welcome: No. 19 Vandy, No. 24 Boise State
    Slap(py) The Taste Outcha Mouth: ex-No. 22 West Virginia, ex-No. 24 Arizona State
    Last team out: TCU (again)

    Simmering: (no particular order) Virginia Tech, Tulsa, Oklahoma State, Maryland, TCU, Air Force, Colorado, Cincinnati, Ball State, Connecticut, Minnesota, Northwestern, West Virginia, Arizona State, Clemson.

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

    -- Georgia and LSU leapfrogged Missouri (letting Buffalo stay in it at home has its costs).

    -- Alabama leapfrogged South Florida (FIU, really?) and Utah.

    -- BYU leapfrogged Penn State (stop scheduling Temple)

    -- Wake Forest leapfrogged several schools (FSU is overrated, but a grind-it-outer at Tallahassee is still impressive)

    -- Kansas leapfrogged Texas Tech (FRAUDS!)

    BYH Memorial Fraud Alert: West Virginia lived up to its bullshit status and lost at Colorado. Alabama has been removed from the fraud alert for now after a road rout at Arkansas, but I fully expect them to return.

    Which puts Texas Tech back on the hotseat. Why the hell does anyone believe in them when they have absolutely no history of ever backing it up? Not to mention their wins are over Eastern Washington, Nevada, SMU and UMass. That's not even an acceptable basketball schedule. They are due for a big-time market correction. Perhaps not for a week or two, but soon.
