BLOGPOLL, WEEK FOUR DRAFT: GIBBERISH. ABSOLUTE GIBBERISH
This week’s draft is below. Sense, this makes none.
| Rank | Team | Delta |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Southern Cal | — |
| 2 | Georgia | 1 |
| 3 | LSU | 7 |
| 4 | Florida | — |
| 5 | Oklahoma | 3 |
| 6 | Penn State | 1 |
| 7 | Missouri | 1 |
| 8 | Alabama | 4 |
| 9 | Wake Forest | 5 |
| 10 | Brigham Young | 3 |
| 11 | South Florida | — |
| 12 | Texas | 3 |
| 13 | Texas Tech | 2 |
| 14 | Auburn | 5 |
| 15 | Ohio State | 1 |
| 16 | Oklahoma State | 6 |
| 17 | Wisconsin | 9 |
| 18 | Kansas | — |
| 19 | Utah | 2 |
| 20 | Boise State | 6 |
| 21 | TCU | 4 |
| 22 | Fresno State | 4 |
| 23 | Nebraska | 1 |
| 24 | Vanderbilt | 2 |
| 25 | Georgia Tech | 1 |
Dropped Out: East Carolina (#13), Oregon (#17), West Virginia (#20), Clemson (#23).
Ya Bully Rah for: LSU, Alabama, and Wake Forest, who all look intimidating in their own weird ways. LSU: Bold, aromatic talent; Alabama, formidable body and flavor throughout; Wake Forest, the economy pick for the smart consumer.
BOO’ins for: East Carolina, who we may mercifully drop, Oregon, WVU, and Clemson. Double boos for Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, who are both probably too high for any sense to really justify, but points pretty things exploding Big 12 cupcake illusory BOOM YEAH.
The rest: is gibberish, but you’re damn right that’s Vanderbilt down there.

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.

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

If you are going to criticize the poll, you should know where it comes from. It’s not Orson’s decision, which is why it’s called the “Blogpoll,” rather than “Orson’s Patented EDSBS Poll,” which then we’d have one from Holly, too, I imagine. Go back to this post to see how to figure it out:
https://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2008/08/20/blogpoll-week-negative-one/
About a billion blogs vote, and they come up with this approximation/abomination (depending on your perspective):

That’s it. So don’t blame the man; it’s just reportage. Blogs being what they are, no professional lack-of-bias required when placing votes. Not that that counts for AP or USA Today, either. Pay no attention to the man behind the green curtain. Make a blog, I guess, if you want a say.
Oh, and I’m with Will (the other one). Ohio St can hardly hang its hat on Ohio and Troy St.

Ummm. 1. Not a ‘Dore. 2. I am pointing out that OSU has played three patsies and one team of relevance: looked like shit against two patsies, got their best player injured in the other. 3. As for the team of relevance. Well, yeah, at least sweatervest saved the flyover another January embarrassment. 4. Buffoon.

@ Angry Buckeyes
Playing a non-cupcake and getting your ass handed to you isn’t impressive. If it were, the directional Louisianas and Michigans of the world would all be ranked.
Mediocre wins over cupcakes (see Ohio, and Troy, ibid.) does nothing but convince the rest of us that right now, OSU is probably staring up at PennSt. (if their players can avoid jail) and Wisconsin. And because I hate them, I’d love to see an Northwestern and/or MSU upset of the suckeyes as well.

Offhand, it looks like Wake Forest and Wisconsin should be switched. This is more a statement against Wake Forest (who really didn’t do anything other than let Florida State prove they suck, same as it’s been) than it is for Wisconsin, who seems to have dropped because the coin kept coming up tails instead of on-field play. That’s not terrible as reasons go, as long as it’s just a draft.

I understand that you can get passed while on a bye if someone else has an impressive win. But *nine* teams passing Wisconsin? Including an Auburn team that lost?
