It's your poll jazzman... but Penn State ahead of Iowa? Iowa beat PSU head to head and hung closer to OSU than PSU did.

I thought about that, but Iowa has now lost two consecutive games....that loss to Northwestern is the reason.

It is your poll, and its cool, but I disagree with a couple things....

I don't think TCU should be ranked higher than Texas.

Also, USC has now gotten blown out twice....I say they couldn't be higher than No.20 at this point. It would be a good debating point whether they should be ranked at all. Personally, I kept them in the rankings just giving them credit for winning a tough night game against the Buckeyes on the road.

I realize that Texas is ranked high on everyone elses list, but they didnt beat a ranked team this week, they beat baylor who is 4-5 (4-6 now). Who cares. I am so sick of this 'untouchable' status that the preseason rankings allot. Its not really what I hope for, because I honestly hope and believe that Texas will play Florida in the NCG, and beat them. But TCU has earned it by beating more top teams, and beating them by a decent margin. I honestly believe that they have one of the best teams in the country right now. Texas has beaten who? Ok State, TT, and OK? Didnt we resolve this last year, or wasnt it complete when Bradford got injured twice in one year. Texas owns the Big 12, they should beat all of them by 20+. Anyways, on to USC.

USC lost an unfortunate loss to Washington, similar to our loss to Purdue. Granted Purdue is a better all around team, its viewed the same. They also lost to an Oregon who put everything that had on the line to win that game, meanwhile, USC was still fighting to overcome the loss to Wash. But by making them unranked places us in a similar boat. We shouldnt even be top 10 based on those criteria. I still think they are a good team.

I actually moved Iowa up this week by process of elimination, and by Penn State squeaking by Indiana with all those turnovers. I can't see how Houston is still ranked considering they probably won't even make the C-USA championship game. Utah? Yeah right too. I do think TCU is for real though, and I'm not at all sold on Boise State still.

Put Florida under 'Bama and Texas in result of only playing one ranked team.

Thanks for your reasoning... I'll post my poll either later tonight or tomorrow for you to critique.

I questioned BYU last week, and after their big 24-19 win over 0-10 New Mexico I am really questioning them now. Just because the AP ranks them, doesn't mean you need to rank them.

Rip apart as you will.... 13-25 is a crap shot anymore.

1. Texas - Had them #1 last week, didn't do anything to harm that ranking
2. Florida - Better win than Alabama
3. Alabama
4. Cincinnati
5. TCU
6. Georgia Tech
7. Boise State - SOS is terrible... will stay here unless someone above them loses. If Pitt beats Cincy I might move them ahead also.
8. Ohio State - Big Ten Champs!
9. Pittsburgh
10. LSU - Very similar to OSU... good defense, up and down offense. 2 losses to quality teams.
11. Oregon - Two tough games left for the Pac10 title
12. Oklahoma State
13. Virginia Tech
14. Iowa - Actually moved up a couple of spots because of losses ahead of them and almost beating OSU on the road w/o Stanzi
15. Penn State - Stays behind Iowa because of head-to-head and SOS
16. Wisconsin - Almost put them ahead of Penn State after they thrashed scUM in the 2nd half
17. Stanford - Very nice win vs USC
18. Clemson
19. Miami
20. Oregon State
21. BYU
22. California
23. Rutgers - Gets the weekly Big East 23-25 spot
24. Nebraska
25. USC - Hanging on by the skin of their nose after a couple of blowouts this year.
