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

Re: 2009 SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- 11/9/09 Page 19

I don't know... Cincy has a tremendous task the next few weeks with WVU, Pitt and I think South Florida.
If they stay unbeaten I will be impressed.

I also voted TCU at No. 1. The Horned Frogs have allowed more than 20 points once this season (Sept. 19 vs. Texas State). TCU's true test will be this weekend vs. Utah.

In theory, ahem, you didn't vote. Had I not seen that you posted your ballot, you'd have had a miss...

Thanks for looking out, Slap.

Quite true, and I like Cincy- A LOT- which is why I put them there last week. I guess I look at my poll as more fluid than most. I think a stumble one week can show holes that can be exploited another. That's why my vote changes so much, especially this season.
If Cincy wins out and TCU wins out and both do so impressively, it will take a good hour of waffling before I make the final decision.

Slightly interested in what BYU has done to deserve to be No. 13. Not really pikcing on you, OZ, just don't get, at all, any of the BYU love that's out there.
In your case, Iowa, for example has wins over your No. 16 and No. 20 teams. BYU (ranked two spots higher) doesn't have a win over any of the teams in the top 25 and got their butt kicked by one team not in your Top 25. Miami has one more loss than BYU, but it beat a Florida State team that absolutely housed BYU (in Provo), and beat your No. 7 team. Anyway, not really picking on you. I'm just flummoxed why people seem to buy into this idea that BYU is a "good" football team. Or at least a "better" mediocre than the rest of the mediocrity that finds it's home below the No. 10-ish spot. There's nothing "impressive" about their resume.

Dear slappy,

I apologize in advance for this abortion of a ballot, whenever I finish it. I do not, however, accept blame for the utter clusterfuck that is the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Dear fellow voters,

Why the fuck are any of you voting for BYU? Have you seen them yet? Jeebus.

Re: 2009 SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- 11/9/09 Page 19

Come on 2MCF, they ran 23 less plays than New Mexico but still gained 4 more yards! Doesn't that count for something?

(Anyway, it's all pops and whistles from 15-25.)

Oregon State rolls Washington up like a fattie and you drop them out?
