Week 10 Blogpoll Ballot Rough Draft

by Winfield Featherston on Nov 9, 2009 11:56 AM EST Comment 10 comments

Week 10 shifted quite a few teams up and down. Here's our breakdown for the Rough Draft ballot. I have also brought back our individual breakdowns so yall can call us out individually.

Notice how Bird forgot to rank LSU. I guess losing to Alabama closely does that to you.

Here's what our three individual ballots combined into:

Rank	Team	Delta

1	Texas	2
2	Florida	1
3	Alabama	1
4	TCU	1
5	Cincinnati	1
6	Georgia Tech	1
7	Boise State	1
8	Pittsburgh	7
9	Miami (Florida)	5
10	Ohio State	6
11	Southern Cal	1
12	Utah	7
13	Houston
14	Iowa	5
15	Oregon	9
16	LSU	6
17	Oklahoma State	1
18	Penn State	7
19	Virginia Tech	2
20	Arizona
21	Clemson
22	Wisconsin
23	Auburn	1
24	Tennessee
25	Brigham Young
Last week's ballot

Dropped Out: Notre Dame (#23).

Notre Dame, you got beat down by Navy and their Triple Option. It's unfortunate because I wanted to see the Yellow Jackets do it to you.
LSU drops way way down because Bird doesn't have them in his ballot.
After the top 10 it's a total crapshoot.
Texas jumps both Alabama and Florida because they're taking care of the Big 12.

Now it's time for you to tell us where we're wrong!

Oregon, USC, Ohio State

Make no sense. Ranking them appropriately is impossible.

I was surfing the crimson tide for as long as possible, but the close game to both UTK and LSU show that they are not as dominant as I once thought. I’d still pick them to win the whole thing, but as of right now their resume makes them drop.

LSU will shoot up to #9

when my new ballot is factored in

A few things: I’d also like to make sure PSU<Iowa, Houston>OKSU, and Auburn>Tenn…

I can agree about the first two

But I may beg to differ about Auburn>UT

UT has lost to 2 of the best 3 teams in the nation by a combined total of 12, while auburn got rocked by UK, Arkansas, LSU, all together. Make your case sir!

AU-UT game

Auburn won. Otherwise neither team really deserves top 25-ness.

I'm not happy at all

I can’t seem to find anything to dispute. I mean, I don’t like Miami being that high, but how can you argue against them? I’m not even sure I could put LSU above them and I hate that, haha.

There’s no point in debating the individual polls because the final average looks solid. And really, outside of the top eight or so, well, it’s a nightmare to try to do anything completely logical with. So many of those teams are about the same I’m not sure you could go wrong with where you put them 11th – 20th.

Oregon kicked the crap out of them and they played like georgie against arizona state. they gotta be behind the ducks in my mind.

That should change if Bird decides to put the Ducks back in his ballot. This is the same problem the other polls are having as well one week after Oregon stomped USC

I'm just glad that no one yelled about Houston

Yes, they are up there. If we are up there, they are up there. They are a team that has a questionable defense but usually wins because their offense is amazing.
