USF stays at #11 even after they can’t put away a team that would have a hard time beating Armwood High School? In that case, I want it to be included in the BCS.

Will @33: The Bucknutz go to Evanston this year, so it’s not completely impossible.

Main thing for me right now is, Beat Iowa. It doesn’t have to be a pounding. In truth, I think I’d rather pull it out on a last-minute drive. More uncontrollable sobbing that way.

So Wake is top 10 and Clemson isn’t top 25? I guess that means you’ll be betting the farm on Wake when they play a week from Thursday and Clemson is favored?

PW @ 44: Given past results, 35-2, might be a good result for an SEC team facing USC. They hung 50 on Arkansas the year the pigs won their 1/2 of the SEC.

C’mon Orson, no love for the Spartans by you either, what gives? I think that we match up favorably against most of those teams you ranked 16-25. I realize it doesn’t matter what your ranked until the end of the season, but we spanked Rudy and sent him crying back to South Bend(aka Spartan Stadium South). J-Claw is an escaped Emu and Jabba Weiss looked really hot in those warmups, I guess he learned how to dress from gray hooded sweatshirt. GO GREEN!

Excuse me, sir, but you have neglected to rank my still undefeated football team. I realize Minnesota hasn’t played anyone yet and has yet another cupcake this weekend, but I really would appreciate a little love. We’ll get around to playing a real football team in a few weeks.

Crabapple Buck:

Calling a blogger “nearly MSM” cuts like a knife to his soul. Why do people care so much about polls in week 4 anyway? Finally, just because your overrated team got destroyed by USC, it doesn’t mean one of our teams will.

You give JayPa too much credit. The secondary receivers in space weakness was there last year too, didn’t seem like he caught on then. I also fully expect Beanie to be back by then, and our Freshman qb is no ordinary freshman.

that being said, they could still lose. It’s a rare night game in Ohio Stadium so I wouldn’t count on it.

For the record, I don’t have any input into this or any other blogpoll ballot, other than occasionally berating PB for some imagined slight to some school.

That said, I would’ve ranked the SHIT out of Vanderbilt too. This is awesome.

@ 40: In the respectfully disagree category. A) OSU will win a hard fought one against Wiscy. B) Even JayPa can look at film and deduce that , why yes, tUOS has a very very difficult time matching up with secondary receivers in space. Combine that glaring weakness, a mortal running game (depending on Beanie), PSU having better speed and a freshman QB, and I’m thinking that it’s PSU’s year to demolish one of the lil’ sisters in Pasadena (assuming that USC -BEST TEAM EVAH!- goes through unscathed).

#33

I see you’ve swallowed the Penn State and Wisky Kool-Aid.

Those teams will lose to tOSU by a combined 4 tds. Even though I’m a Buckeye, I admit this will unfortunately speak volumes about the Big 10.

Pussified Rugby…I’m intrigued.

My bad, then. All apologies. Stand by the Ohio State comment, though.

Hoss, I think YOU are the one who doesn’t understand this. Yes, the blogpoll is the final standings of the ballots of hundreds of blogs, but THIS poll we’re all bickering about is EDSBS’s personal poll that they submit to the overall rankings. So yes, Its perfectly fine for people to take their shots at Orson where they see fit
