I've decided that Oklahoma State's defense is too questionable to have them rated ahead of Stanford at this time.
With Oklahoma's best receiver going down and Texas Tech getting smashed by Texas, I decided Oregon derves to be rated above them.
After a convincing win against South Carolina that could have been much more one-sided on the scoreboard, I moved Arkansas ahead of Boise. This is exactly what Boise gets for that weak schedule. Sorry smurfers!
It's amazing to me that the Coaching Poll has VaTech rated ahead of Clemson, given that the teams have the same record and Clemson thoroughly thrashed VaTech earlier this season. I'm glad to see BP be rational on that one.
I debated putting Georgia ahead of South Carolina given the loss of Latimore, but in the end I gave South Carolina the benefit of the doubt since they won the head-to-head earlier in the year. That may change in the coming weeks.
I don't know how the heck to rank the Big Ten teams at this point. If Penn State beats Nebraska next weekend, they will be tops in the league in my book. But until they beat a conference foe that means something, I still think Wisconsin is the best team in the league, with their two close loses on the road. After that, Michigan State and Nebraska have to be the next teams to be ranked, and since Nebraska smoked MSU, I gave them the edge. scUM clings to a top-25 spot, but tOSU is #26 for me right now. Iowa, with a couple more good wins, could get in there as well.
I don't want to have Houston ranked so high, but it's hard to justify putting many teams ahead of them at this point. There's a lot of mediocrity out there right now.

Looks like I was the only one to throw the Red Wolves of Arkansas State a bone. 
Also, if USC was eligible (in my poll), they'd be in there. As it is, it gets real tough towards the bottom.

I suppose I went somewhat According to Hoyle this week. I'm still not sold on Texas, though they deserve to be in the poll. Quite frankly VT and Clemson in the top 10 are a joke, but who else deserves to be there instead? A lot of struggling, middling, slightly above average teams right now.

Wasn't home in time to actually vote but here's mine. Seeing Bama lose to the #1 team in OT was more impressive to me than seeing Okie State hanging on at home against Kansas State and needing 50 points to do it. Moving Okie State up a spot seems absurd to me.
Penn State is not the best team in the Big Ten so I did not rank them like it. Houston's record is built against garbage so screw them, too.
