SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings »
BlogPoll Criteria
1. You’ve proved it on the field (see: Georgia).
2. You looked like a top 25 team even though you played a crappy team (see: Tennessee).
3. If two teams are close in resumes, I look and see if I think team X would beat team Y 51 out of 100 times on a neutral field (see: LSU vs. Oregon).
I tried as hard as I could to sneak OSU in this week but I just couldn’t do it. Obviously beat Texas and you’re back in it, probably into the top 20.
USC and Michigan State take a tumble down my rankings for blatant reasons.
I dare somebody to name me a team that has three better wins than Notre Dame has right now.
It feels weird to drop Baylor four spots when they won by 20 but they DID struggle with a FCS team and the teams that leapfrogged them (Florida, TCU, UCLA, and Louisville) all had better wins.
I openly wondered for about five minutes yesterday about sending an email to the BlogPoll creators to see if they could make an exception this week and I could rank Alabama 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
The — next to Stanford doesn’t mean I didn’t move them from last week, it means I didn’t have them ranked last week, clearly a mistake on my part.
It feels good to drop OU during a bye week. Hey not my fault Texas, Florida, and Notre Dame had great outings on Saturday…
Florida State has outscored opponents 176-3, is that good?
Ok blog readers, you guys (and gals) collectively watch more football than I do. What did I miss/get wrong?
