Final BlogPoll Ballot... Offiicial
Rank | Team | Snark |
---|---|---|
1 |
Texas | Why, yes... |
2 | Southern Cal | ...this is the exact order... |
3 |
Penn State | ...these somewhat controversial... |
4 |
Ohio State |
...top four teams were in before. Ha. |
5 |
West Virginia |
Uh... and I had WVU 13th. |
6 |
LSU | Please make up your mind about the sucking. |
7 |
Virginia Tech | At least next year will be mercifully devoid of Michael Vick and his chili cheese fries. |
8 |
Wisconsin | My great hope for the BlogPoll is that a 10-3 Wisconsin team that played a very tough schedule and beat the tar out of a 9-3 Auburn team ends up, you know, in front of Auburn. Then, and only then, can the BlogPoll declare victory. |
9 |
Alabama | It's good! Sort of! |
10 |
Georgia |
Kyle said it best when he bemoaned the fact that we won't be getting rid of this Big East autobid thanks to the Sugar Bowl. |
11 |
Miami |
Christ almighty. |
12 |
Auburn |
DNP. |
13 |
Florida | Were handed the game by Iowa with a small assist from Conference USA. Still, 9-3, tough schedule, defense that tends to choke small children to death, etc. |
14 |
TCU | Stupid SMU game. |
15 |
Notre Dame | Fiesta was a few OSU turnovers from being a lot like that game against the other OSU (Oregon version) a few years back. In the end, ND's best result was a loss to USC. They beat one meh team in Michigan but showed that in reality not even a Super Genius like Weis E. Coyote can make his cornerbacks fast. Worse resume than any of the 9-3 teams ahead of them, thus the harsh assessement. |
16 |
UCLA | Hard to believe they're 10-2. |
17 |
Louisville |
Oversight on first draft. |
18 |
Boston College |
Winning the Depression Bowl a tough trick for many teams. |
19 |
Oklahoma | Not so much of a disaster after all. |
20 |
Oregon | The Holiday Bowl: shutting up Pac-10 teams that whine about BCS at-large berths since 2004. And thank you for that. |
21 |
Texas Tech |
Hyyyarrr. |
22 |
Florida State | Wide everything! |
23 |
Toledo |
Sure. |
24 |
Michigan |
Best 7-5 team ever. |
25 |
Iowa |
Second best 7-5 team ever. |
Games I Saw: BCS bowls, Alamo fiasco, Iowa-UF, AU-UW, bits of VT-UL, and some other random stuff.
Help requested: Anything. There is a vast swath after about #8 where arguments are being heard.
Update: Bumped Oregon down and UCLA up (in front of Oklahoma), Added Louisville at #17, revamped the bottom of the poll to be more internally consistent: if I'm going to overrate Big Ten teams it may as well be the right ones. Thanks to commenter statprof for offering a strong argument in favor of the Cards.
