BlogPoll: Week 3
Below is our BlogPoll ballot for the 3rd week of the season (see all our BlogPoll ballots). Not much to say, other than the obvious teams were taken out off the ballot. We still like Oklahoma at the top, and pretty much see this as a 3+ team race, with Florida at the + team.
UCLA is obviously off the charts … doesn't deserve to be recognized. All the smack talk just got spit right back in our faces. Thanks Karl. Thanks a lot. Ohio State is impressing more than Wisconsin or for that matter West Virginia. Again, the Big East is overrated and we have to account for that in our poll ballot. Louisville proved our point last week. Aside from the top 4 teams, and a few 2nd tier teams, we just don't see that much competition up at the top. There is a huge separation in quality at that point, and the quality is highly erratic, hence the big jumps. Anyhow, here is our ballot:
| Rank | Team | Delta |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Oklahoma | – |
| 2 | LSU | – |
| 3 | Southern Cal | – |
| 4 | Florida | – |
| 5 | Texas | – |

| 8 | Wisconsin |  2 |
| 9 | West Virginia | 2 |
| 10 | Penn State | – |
| 11 | Oregon | 11 |
| 12 | Rutgers | 1 |
| 13 | Boston College | 8 |
| 14 | South Carolina | 1 |
| 15 | Alabama | 11 |
| 16 | Clemson | 7 |
| 17 | Texas A&M | 7 |
| 18 | Virginia Tech | – |
| 19 | Georgia | – |
| 20 | Louisville | 9 |
| 21 | Georgia Tech | 7 |
| 22 | South Florida | 4 |
| 23 | Nebraska | 11 |
| 24 | Hawaii | 1 |
| 25 | Arkansas | 9 |
