BlogPoll- Post Week 4's Throw Everything Out Edition E-mail
Written by Big Head   
Monday, 28 September 2009 10:45

I like to do this towards the end of the out-of-conference season. I figured it's time to not even look at my old ballot, nor the total eff up that the AP throws out each week. This week, there's a lot of movement because we've seen enough of some teams to just throw the old ballot away and forget this 'move them up one if one team above them loses' crap. Suggestions will be taken.

Polls are pretty useless this time of year

When conference play gets into full swing, then they'll be something to keep an eye on.

On another subject, alot of upsets early in the year...could be a ton of 1 loss teams when December starts, could this be the year that everyone finally gets behind a playoff?

Kansas ahead of Nebraska and Missouri? Dude...I don't know what True Son has been pouring in your drinks, but the people in Vegas would probably love either one at either place.

Last place ever I thought I would see a Kansas homer is here.

Oregon should be on there above Cal. They have better wins over better opponents. Also, for who they've beaten (and not) I think you have Penn State a bit high. There was a short opinion piece in the NYT today about the coaches poll you should check out...

Agree with Dave about Oregon. Oregon unranked and Cal still ranked after a 42-3 beatdown? It's impossible to argue Cal is better. Cal's only decent win is at Minnesota. Oregon has Utah to their name as well.

Sammy, for the last time what I slip into Big Head's drink is nobody's business but my own...and Big Head's.

@True Son and Sammy V: If I wake up with my pants off after drinking one beer again, I swear I'm calling the cops.

I would rate kU, Mizzou, and Nebraska all at the same spot, but with the blogpoll, you can't. Mizzou's had the two most impressive wins (a 1-2 Illannoy squad and an o'fer Nevada team), followed by kU's UTEP, Duke, and Southern Miss. Nebraska is the '09 Sun Belt Champs, and destroyed three horrible teams. Nebraska has looked impressive in their cream puff games, and terrible against VTech. Mizzou's had the best wins, and the BGSU one was fairly deceiving after dominating 2 1/2 quarters. Then again, Mizzou has some OL issues right now it seems like, and DWash can't get the wheels going for the 1st half. kU's looked like shit against Southern Miss and Duke (for awhile).

Ultimately, I think the RGIII injury to Baylor gives Mizzou and Nebraska another win, where kU didn't have them scheduled. That could affect the North race more than anything right now. Baylor is legit, but is 100x better with Griffin.

@Dave and G: So, would you drop Stanford (3-1) to put Oregon in or is there another team you'd kick out?

I would swap Oregon with Cal and put Auburn in there. I'm getting on their bandwagon.

I agree with the 1) Kansas 2) Missouri 3) Nebraska seeing as how I do think Kansas had the best win (even if it wasn't pretty) against Southern Miss who was undefeated at the time. Mizzou is undefeated but do not have a win against a quality opponent. Obviously Nebraska hasn't beaten anybody good either and while they've looked impressive in those wins they did lose to Virginia Tech.

Also I was the one who spiked Big Head's beer.

Just saying.

Yes, definitely drop Stanford. Cal deserves a ranking, despite blowing it big time. Oregon's only loss was to current AP#5 BSU, while Stanford shit the bed against a middling Wake Forest. Stanford's "marquee" win is a Washington team that is greatly improved and will make some noise in the Pac-10, but is still only one year removed from their 0-12 season.

Also, I want to like Georgia Tech, but I've been burned by the Yellowjackets before...call me after the Mississippi State game...

Bumped Stanford, inserted Oregon above Cal, bumped all others down one.

Auburn is on the radar. Chizik might leave for another job after one loss though, right?
