I proudly present this week’s BlogPoll. Virginia Tech is taking, what will probably be, a season long vacation from the poll. You cannot run a Pop Warner offense and expect to be among the big boys. After their beatdown by Alabama Clemson is hanging on by a thread. I was thinking of dropping them completely but I think they would beat any team that would replace them. Can someone at Pitt tell Wanny that there is no playoff and he really needs to beat teams like Bowling Green.
After their impressive wins both ECU and Oregon crack the top 25. I am really pulling for Skip “I wish I wasn’t related to Lou” Holtz to upset WVU next week. Oregon really showed me they can still throw up the points in life AD (after Dixon). Mizzou moves into the top 3 and I am showing Alabama a lot of love. Obligatory rhetorical question, how impressive were both Missouri and Alabama’s defenses against loaded offenses on Saturday night…
Anyways if you feel strongly about how I fucked up let me know what you think before I submit my final poll on Tuesday night.

Mizzou doesnt deserve such a jump. Yea they beat the piss out of Illi but everyone else won like they were supposed to, for the most part.
also, McNeese>Kansas. MSU kept it close vs UNC & Butch Davis.

It looks like Tennessee will be moving down to #23 way to go Vols.
