Penn State's schedule is weak, but they did pound The Beavers, and they fared better against Illinois than Mizzou did. Really, it's impossible to tell much about these Big 12 teams. None of them have played anyone yet (save Oklahoma). What else is new. We may have to wait for the BCS title game again... Yes, they did pound the Beavers. (sorry, just wanted to say that again).

Yes, they did pound the Beavers. (sorry, just wanted to say that again). Beavers.

I soured on Wisky b/c I watched their game against UM. That team is slow and not able to move the ball. I additionally soured on Fresno as I watched them play UCLA, and as such, devalued Wisky's only good win. Fresno beat Rutgers (terrible) and UCLA (horrible). Wisky's "hang your hat" win is Fresno. I know another team who beat an unranked team who will probably go to a bowl, yet lost to a ranked squad. Illinois gave up 52 to Missou, and 38 to PSU. They struggled to beat Louisiana Lafayette, AT HOME, 20-17. Maybe I am too resume based, but if you don't have obvious NFL talent or a good gimmick (Wake), I have trouble going off anything but resume. Chili,

Clemson got that sort of treatment but only because it was an indicator of another typical Bowden campaign. Fresno was in our poll at the behest of our readers, who fucking LOVE fu-manchus. They won, so why move them out? I can see Boise maybe making its way in. Illinois is not what some thought they'd be this season, though their only losses have come to ranked Mizzou and Penn State. @ TN: I just sort of think dropping, say, a Wisconsin, who was #10 in our poll last week, all the way out because of an upset loss is extremely reactionary.

They lost to a really unique scheme in an obvious letdown situation. Bama over Oklahoma. Make OU earn the #1 slot against Texas. Wake shouldn’t drop a whole lot.

Wisconsin's quality wins are... I dropped both of em out of the top 25. I think Va Tech needs to be a bit higher, agreed. Penn State is a top 15 team but they have ONE good win, at home, over an Illinois squad that is turning out to be quite pathetic. Fresno’s quality wins are…

Also, don't get too riled up about the blogpoll. It's a poll that literally counts for nothing. Has no bearing on real life. Let it go man, I listened to some of your suggestions and took some, and ignored others. It's alright, man, take er easy. The season will sort itself out. For now OK gets #1 by a nose.

Just compare the two teams and who they beat and logically Alabama goes #1 over Oklahoma. What the hell has Oklahoma done to merit #1?

While I'll agree that they did beat a very good Georgia team (and by very good I mean on paper), it doesn't elicit a top ranking. UGA has shown a lot of holes in their game, playing a very close game to USC (who lost the week before to Vandy) plus they are playing with a very young offensive line. Bama should have won that game hands down. Wake Forest definetly needs to drop a few more, I agree with that. Also, Georgia Tech needs to be removed for Boise State. They tromped Oregon last week, won again, and are undefeated so far into the season. They are definetly deserving of being ranked. Just my thoughts...

VT leapfrogs GT. Wake will drop a few more. JasonL, where will Texas go? TT doesn't deserve to be higher than them. I'll bump Penn State up a couple more.
