Blog Poll v.12.1

The top half is exactly as it was a week ago and the bottom half is completely different. 

Some thoughts:

I didn't drop LSU very far but I wanted them to sit right behind Ball State, I figured that was punishment enough for needing 30  points in the 4th quarter to beat Troy. 

Big Ten love for Northwestern and Iowa.  The Iowa vote serves two purposes.  One, I think they are playing really well right now with a very good defense and Shonn Greene being the best back you've never heard of.  They may finish 5th in conference but they are the fourth best team that will come out of the Big Ten.  Secondly I'm hoping getting some votes will serve as a jinx of some sort so they will fail miserably to the Gophers on Saturday night.

I want so badly for Oregon State to win their last two games and earn the Pac 10 Champs berth into the Rose Bowl.  Don't let USC get another championship outright.

Ball State

Do you really truly believe Ball State could beat LSU, or Oregon State, or heck, Iowa? I don’t think so.

If what Troy did to LSU for the first half is any indication, Ball State could smack LSU around pretty badly. I think LSU belongs closer to where Northwestern and Iowa are – if they’re ranked at all.

not really

but after watching LSU get lucky against Troy, and seeing the flaws of every other team below Ball State, I’m not totally convinced they’d lose either. Remember Bowling Green beat Pitt and I’m convinced BSU is better than BG.

what you say here can, and will, be used against you
