Before you yell and say where is so and so team, please read my polling philosophy and then yell afterwards.
~Auburn vs. Oklahoma... I had a debate on whom to rank #1. Oklahoma has wins over Texas (huge W over Nebraska), Florida, @Cincy and Air Force. Auburn has victories at Miss St., South Carolina and Arkansas.
~I'm sorry Boise St. While VaTech looked solid against Wake, they still have a D1-AA loss on their resume and to top that off Oregon St. faltered vs. Washington this weekend. The other undefeateds have superior wins, superior resumes, and Boise will have to hope that they all get knocked off because their signature game the rest of the year is Nevada and they are no longer undefeated.
~Hi! Wisconsin! Wisconsin plays a mediocre to poor out of conference schedule, but the victory over Ohio St. is Yay!
~Baylor is TCU's best victory and they just lost to Colorado. I'm sorry TCU but you shall not be ranked very high by me.
~Utah has yet to play a team above .500. Enough said.
~Goodbye Ohio St. and Cornhusker title hopes. Neither Ohio State or Nebraska will have enough on their schedule to validate being the highest ranked 1 loss team. Nebraska could still potentially play spoiler to Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game, which would be a terrific send off present to the conference.
