Blog Poll Ballot -- Week 7

More details and commentary coming late today. My Week 6 Ballot can be found here.

Week 7:
1. Southern Cal - If they did lose to ND -- which they won't -- how far would they fall?

2. Texas - This is a good football team. Not because of what they did to a bad OU team. But because they are talented, and they can finally play without the 800 lb Stoops monkey on their back. I think they will make the Rose Bowl before USC even would.

3. Virginia Tech - They should whip Maryland before getting ahold of BC.

4. Alabama - I still have them ranked above UGA because I think beating Florida is more impressive than beating Tennessee.

5. Georgia - I knew the defense was good. I had no idea that the OL would beat the UT Dline that badly.

6. Penn State - I saw these guys vs. Minnesota in person and knew they were good. They pour the coals to Michigan this week.

7. Miami (Florida) - I get more grief for ranking these guys ahead of FSU than you can imagine. Honestly, FSU played like complete shit and beat Miami. If they play again on a neutral field this week, I think miami wins. The Colorado win just keeps looking better. If they both have the same record at the end of the regular season, I'll rank FSU higher. But not for now.

8. Louisiana State - We'll know a BUNCH more about this team after this week.

9. Notre Dame - I'm mostly curious to see if ND can make a game of it vs. USC.

10. Florida State - They will likely be #8 or so next week.

11. Florida - I'm hoping for a biblical beatdown by LSU upon Meyer's house.

12. Auburn - I am umcomfortable with this placement. I should probably have AU and MSU flipped.

13. Michigan State - How did these guys lose to UM? Oh yeah, they are MSU. That's just what they do.

14. Boston College - I think this is too high. Next week, I plan to revise this down.

15. Ohio State - I'm eagerly awaiting the MSU vs. OSU score. I'd love to see MSU beat them silly...even though I loathe John L Smith.

16. Texas Tech - The weakest schedule in the Top 25? In two weeks Mack Brown's boys are going to beat them silly.

17. UCLA - I was glad to see the no scheduling, weak ass Cal team get slapped. Take a look at the schedule for these guys and you see a 10-0 team rolling into USC in the final week. I'll move these guys much higher next week. They are too low here.

18. Louisville - Petrino is an ass.

19 Oregon - Duck is fatty.

20. Colorado - at Texas this coming week. Ouch. If they give 'em a game, I'll keep them here. Barnett is a scumbag.

21. Wisconsin - Feel good story no more.

22. Minnesota - There was a trap door to the Minnesota season last week that Mason managed to not stand on and fall into.

23. Tennessee - Hanging on by a thread.

24. West Virginia - I need to watch these guys again. That tickle pile vs. Syracuse in Week 1 or 2 was some of the worst football I've seen in years.

25. Cal - It sickens me to rank these chumps. Go Beavers.
