Sorry for not voting again. I missed all the games except Ohio State this past weekend, so I had little idea how to vote.

I honestly don't understand voting for M*ch*g*n. Then again, I didn't understand it a week ago when they were still undefeated. I say this every year - I'll put them on my BP Poll ballot when they finally do something they didn't do last year when they sucked.

As much as I hate to say it, I don't know how you don't include the scUMers in the top-25 at this point. There are some seriously lackluster options out there when trying to get to 25 teams right now. It's more of the same from scUM in the sense that they start out strong against mediocre teams and then get handled the first time they face a solid opponent. Still, I do believe they are better than the past few years and, importantly, the Big Ten is much weaker overall than in previous years, IMO. That is to say, while I see another several losses on the horizon for the skunkbears, sadly, I don't think their collapse will be quite as epic this season.

I sent my ballot in this week before I realized Lattimore would be done for the remainder of the season. Had I known that, I would have dropped South Carolina, probably to about 19 or so. That offense is going to sputter out pretty badly, I think.

It seems to me that the top 10 have really separated themselves at this point in the season, with the top 3 heads and shoulders above the rest.

Pick one:

1. "It's quite easy, actually."
2. They have accomplished precisely as much so far this season as they ever did under RichRod.
3. Principle.

That doesn't stop the official voters, some of whom no doubt saw one less game than you.
