Only had 8 this week so we had some ties on the rankings

Oregon and OSU are actually tied, but because OSU got 2 first place votes I gave them the nod at number 2.

I noticed that for the most part they are actually pretty close to the BCS except for a couple of teams like UConn, USC, Kansas, Hawaii

Husker, I know you took some heat last week but I'm gonna put it on you again. Why did you put FSU so high? You have them ahead of 2-loss USC and Texas teams, and 3-loss Florida and Auburn teams. I know they beat BC and Alabama which are two pretty good wins IMO but they have had some tough losses. Miami at home hurts big time IMO. Only USC's loss to Stanford rivals that. Also, watching that FSU offense play football is just painful the majority of the time. I just don't see the resume or potential with putting them ahead of all four of those teams. But you usually have reasoning for your rankings so why did you put them there?

Spaced on sending mine in this week, sorry.

Good question. I really struggled with this one, and in hindsight, I agree that I have them overrated or I have my 21-25 teams underrated. I probably got a bit giddy over the BC victory.

I see Miami as a "better" loss than USC's loss to Stanford or Michigan's loss to App State. Plus FSU has quality wins over Alabama, @BC, and a "quality" loss, staying within 10 @Clemson. In my head, I see their body of work as more impressive than Texas' (no quality wins, a quality loss (-7) to OU on a nuetral field) and USC's (no quality wins, a quality loss (-7) @UO, and a bad loss at home to Stanford). With that said, FSU's qualities are rivaled by that of USF, Aub, Ala, Kentucky, and Cal. So next week, I'll either have to move them down, or move the others up depending on what transpires next Saturday. Good catch.

Its cool, although yours usual balance some of these out

Someone critique mine. I want to know if I am off-base anywhere, or if there is something I need to consider. Thanks!

My critique is that they suck

1 LSU
2 Ohio State (If you like LSU better than OSU, why not like OU and UO better also?)
3 Oregon
4 Oklahoma
5 West Virginia (Why so high? The only rankable team they've played is USF, and they lost to them.)
6 Auburn (way too much love for the SEC sched)
7 Florida (see Auburn)
8 Michigan
9 Georgia
10 Kansas
11 Arizona State
12 USC
13 Missouri
14 Virginia Tech
15 Texas
16 Boston College (1 loss to FSU who you have at #25 and a win over @VTech who has 2 losses and ranked 14(?) yet Texas has beaten no quality wins, 1 more loss, and yet they're ranked ahead of BC.)
17 Kentucky
18 California
19 Connecticut
20 Hawaii
21 Tennessee
22 Clemson
23 Alabama
24 Boise State
25 Florida State

I'm guessing you're more of a "what have done for me lately" ranker v. "the entire body of work" ranker like myself.

Darn it, no one to argue with this week


And it bothers me a bit that a couple people have Michigan in the top 10. Who have they beaten? They get embarrassed by both Oregon and App St. then go on to play the likes of Minny, Northwestern, MSU, Purdue etc.. in the big 10 and now they are a top 10 team?
