Last week's ballot |

Um, how is Florida #1 over Alabama when the PPB are equal and the Tide has more #1 votes?

I know the software says it's a tie, but Alabama has a couple more points than the Gators
1st paragraph of the CBS link.

I'll try asking this again but why are you calling out the lone guy who voted for TCU? I'll say what I said last week again. If UF, UT or 'Bama had the exact same schedule nobody would care and they'd still be getting 20+ first place votes simply because they started higher. What if TCU beats Utah? Are you still going to give people who vote TCU #1 crap?
Strength of Schedule:
Florida - 42
Alabama - 27
Texas - 52
TCU - 47
Cincinnati - 67

If they're the one (or few) dissenter(s), they should get called out. Same was going on when one or two people voted Iowa. That seems fair. It's not that they're wrong, they just have something that stands out.

The only reason they are the dissenters is because TCU didn't start in the top 5. If you're just calling out the dissenters because they don't agree with the general consensus that's fine (I suppose, although I'd phrase it less negatively) but last week Brian said he didn't understand why anyone would vote for TCU. That just doesn't compute with me - Brian's a smart guy who, obviously, knows a lot about football. I've yet to come across any legitimate argument why TCU shouldn't be in the same conversation w/ the top 3 (you can argue 'bama based on strength of schedule but UT and UF have essentially the same as TCU and TCU played their tough non-conference games on the road).
