Joe Tiller giving the Boilermakers some motivation this week?

Or Willingham? He's played both OSU and USC. Maybe he thought OSU was better?

The new AP poll also has us at 4th. The big difference between the polls...LSU is #1 over USC, Kentucky comes in ahead of Florida, and South Florida is #6--yikes.

Week 5 AP Poll (top 10):

1. LSU (33)
2. USC (32)
3. California
4. Ohio State
5. Wisconsin
6. South Florida
7. Boston College
8. Kentucky
9. Florida
10. Oklahoma

I love how the rest of our season is setting up.

Before the season, our possible "premier" wins would have been Michigan, Wisconsin, and Penn state. Now they might be Purdue, Michigan State, and Wisconsin, with Washington still being able to salvage their season.

Have to love how we're situated right now. We should be in a position where we control our own destiny, which is really all you can ask for in college football.

Could be Dantonio or Snyder giving his buddy some love?

Or maybe fat charlie did it hoping to create some contraversy on a midwest team that isnt him..

Dispshit AP Voter Wilner's top 25 has OSU at #7

Amongst other egregious votes and rankings he has this gem:
20. Miami (4-1)
Where I had ‘em last week: 20
Current AP rank:
Comment: The day I move a team up after beating Duke is the day I resign as an AP voter, and I don’t care how many teams above the Canes lost.
Next up: at North Carolina.
Jon, just do us all a favor - quit now. It is quite one thing to have a poll so completely out of kilter with everyone else, but having the gall to blog the goofy reasoning behind his excruciating bad judgment should be cause enough for the AP to can his voting privileges - yesterday.
