Florida eye-gouges Bama and Texas to jump to the top spot, while Texas gets the most first place votes.  What does it mean?  Bad time for a bye week, Bama.  Also, don’t almost lose to Indiana.  Full poll and analysis at CBS Sports.  NQTC gets a mention!  Apparently I am very much in agreement with [...]

Blogpoll is up.  Check out the analysis at CBS Sportsline. While not as bold as last week’s, the Blogpoll voters have shown more willingness to reevaluate each week and you know, think than the AP and Coaches’ Poll voters.

Well, blogpoll voting happened pretty quick this week with the relevant Monday night game and all.  Check out the results along with analysis at CBS Sportsline. 
As for NQTC’s ballot, nothing much changed.  I did consider moving Pitt into the top 25, but I’ll wait for a win over a school in their division.  Miami (yes, [...]

In case you forgot, we’ll be a part of the CBS Sportsline Blogpoll this season.  The poll works just like the AP or Coaches’ Poll, except that it is done by bloggers.  It is obviously superior to either major poll since 1) We watch the games and 2) our votes are public.  The whole project started over at MGoBlog and [...]
