Not impressed by Wisky, Xan?

 

Re: 2009 SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- 11/2/09 Page 18

I want to be impressed by Wisconsin. 25 was going to either Temple or Wisconsin.

Temple's won 7 straight, but Wisconsin's come on strong since losing aggregate 51-23 to Ohio State and Iowa.

Temple's the new darling, but Wisconsin's on TV every week, so how can you not love the Badgers?

Temple. Wisconsin. Temple. Wisconsin.

I went with 7 in a row. Because it's Temple that has won the 7 in a row. Hasn't happened in my lifetime.

Figured it was probably something like that. Seems like from the mid-teens down, everything gets pretty interchangeable (except for my never-ending quest to get Va. Tech and South Florida ranked above BYU. (Which is just something I'm doing more out of a love for seer randomness than anything)).

 

Re: 2009 SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- 11/2/09 Page 18

My poll for Nov. 9 ...

1. Texas
2. Alabama
3. Florida
4. TCU
5. Boise State
6. Cincinnati
7. Utah
8. Georgia Tech
9. Pitt
10. Iowa
11. Houston
12. LSU
13. Oklahoma State
14. Miami
15. Oregon
16. BYU
17. USC
18. Ohio State
19. Wisconsin
20. Arizona
21. Virginia Tech
22. South Florida
23. Rutgers
24. Penn State
25. Oregon State

-- I switched TCU and Boise State. The Mountain West is strong this year and they deserve it.

-- Utah might be a bit high, or perhaps not. They only got beat by seven by Oregon and have handled what has been a relatively easy schedule to date about how one might think they should. It will be interesting to see if they can hang against the Horned Frogs.

 

Re: 2009 SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- 11/2/09 Page 18

I'm not sure who's more high -- you, or your choice of Utah. Yes, the fourth-quarter pullout over San Jose was a real show of strength. And that thriller at home vs. Air Force? Stuff of champions.

 

Re: 2009 SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- 11/2/09 Page 18

Exactly how many teams this year have dominated every opponent they're supposed to dominate?

You could stick the bottom third of the poll in a sack, hit the sack with a stick and there's not a one of those teams that wouldn't deserve to get hit.

 

Re: 2009 SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- 11/2/09 Page 18

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm merely saying ranking utah No. 7 in the poll is ludicrous. that's all.

How can anyone justify ranking Penn State?
They have played two -- TWO! - quality teams and lost them both! At HOME!

There is no way the Lions should be ranked.
