Here’s the final poll for Week 10, as the Blogpoll once again employs more logic and fairness than the three major polls, who all moved USC ahead of Oregon.  Seriously.  Full poll with analysis at CBS Sports. 

NQTC gets mention again for the “Mr. Numb Existence Award” which goes to the five blogs that have the least divergence from the average ballot.  As the writer at CBS Sports has pointed out,

Yea, truly, the Mr. Numb Existence award has devolved to the teams that cause so much pain for their fans that all they can do when it comes time to put some teams in a top twenty-five is dully click the “chalk” button before moving on to the next pointless exercise in their meaningless lives.

Being a Michigan fan following Illinois, this is doubly true.  Anyway, here’s the poll, and I’m off to count ceiling tiles.

Last week’s ballot

A few things:

• Florida moves down to #2.  I did this a long time after everyone else did, and a lot of people have moved Texas up and have gone back to the Gators, but Bama has so many quality wins that they’ll likely keep this spot until they play Florida in the SEC Championship.
• Georgia Tech soars to #7.  Bow to the triple option!  Bow to it!
• Iowa couldn’t make it through their brutal home games against Indiana and Northwestern, as their hopes for a NC blew out in the endzone with Stanzi’s ankle/knee. 
• Ohio State and USC are creeping back toward the top 10.  The Buckeyes will probably return with a win over Iowa Saturday.
