2009 sj.com College Football Poll -- FINAL POLL PG 25!!!!!

Re: 2009 SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- 9/28/09 poll Page 11

It looks a lot better now that nearly a month has passed. People have forgotten how badly VT was outplayed that night. Out of sight, out of mind.

I'll take it, though.

Part of that was a Bama scoring a touchdown, recovering a fumble on the ensuing kickoff, then tacking on a field goal. It went from 17-16 Tech to 27-17 Bama in no time. Tech came right back with a touchdown to close within three. The Hokies didn't play anywhere near their best game, got outgained 498-155, fumbled five times (losing two), etc. And they still had a chance to win the fourth.

See ya Sooners, not dropping them out of my poll, but they are out of all contention from this point on.

The Miami win was impressive, but the win vs. Nebrasaka was a fluke. Maybe not a fluke, but an unlikely finish, fr sure. I do think Nebraska is a good team, though.

Yes, because all unbeaten teams deserve to be above everyone else.

Yeah, Missouri must have had a 70-0 bye week victory to move up 10 spots.

That should make for some interesting film study in Lincoln this week.
