Final Blogpoll draft ballot

I'm not 100% satisfied with this ballot but it is just a first draft.

Wisconsin made a huge jump, but maybe I had them too low to begin with.  I like where I have them.  I could easily move Nebraska up ahead of them as the Huskers really ended the season playing good football.

19-25 was a complete guess (kind of).  I'm not sure who really belongs and in what order they belong.  So if anyone has any strong convictions, please tell me.

Last week's ballot

 

Dropped Out: Oregon State (#16), Arizona (#18), West Virginia (#19), Oklahoma State (#22).

 

Let me know the error of my ways.

Two things

I would probably keep Texas #2 since the one game they lost was because their four year starting QB who is the focal point of their offense was knocked out very early in the game. If not for that play, I think Texas wins that game—maybe even by double digits. It was clear that Alabama could not pass (5 sacks to 6 completions). If there were games next week, I would not disagree with your ranking, but as a final ranking, I think Texas is #2.

Also, why does Pitt leapfrog Utah? Utah was pretty impressive against Cal.

I don't think you could really

keep them at two. three seems pretty generous considering that Florida stomped CIncy. If I were writing it, Texas would have been 4th, behind 2. Florida and 3. Boise.

HEll, NEbraska should have beaten Texas. Texas was not that good.
