I feel like I'm second every week, lol
The main reason is, I try to over react a bit in my polls, because I am afraid if I don't, the poll will be stagnant. "Poll Inertia" and all that is real, so I try really hard to avoid it.
Indiana is #1, and I feel very comfortable with that. I think that 63-10 win over Illinois is the best win by any team in the season. The rest of their wins are big (If you realize 5 points in an Iowa game is the equivalent to 20 in a normal game.)
Texas A&M is basically tied to Ohio State right now. I think Ohio State is a bit better, but the Aggies have played a tougher schedule, and have played an extra game. If Ohio State wins comfortably this week, while Texas A&M is on the bye, it will probably switch, but that is next weeks problem to figure out.
Here is my Human Poll
I feel confident about the top 20, but there are about 15 teams that I thought about for the next 5 spots.
Anyway, feel free to yell at me. 1 Indiana 2 Texas A&M 3 Ohio State 4 Georgia 5 BYU 6 Oregon 7 Vanderbilt 8 Alabama 9 Ole Miss 10 Georgia Tech 11 Miami 12 Texas Tech 13 Cincinnati 14 Tennessee 15 Louisville 16 Notre Dame 17 Navy 18 Virginia 19 Utah 20 Houston 21 Missouri 22 Texas 23 Boise State 24 Oklahoma 25 Memphis
26 Michigan 27 Tulane 28 James Madison 29 North Texas 30 Nebraska
I feel bad about this week. Penn State feels like a trap game against Ohio State this weekend.
The criteria for artists they provide is not good. Maybe Ireland is different, but I think broadly, we need more bridge builders than music bands. Both require skill, practice, hardwork and require "art" skills. The difference is, people tend to care about the oversaturated one more. We need both, but one is much more underutilized.
What a joke. What coach is out there that will do better?

This poll is so funny. Georgia and Tennessee go into overtime. Georgia wins, and is not the best team in the country. Tennessee loses close to the best team in the country, and are kicked out of the poll. lol
Some wide swings. South Carolina, Miami, and Texas all dropping by 9, 7, and 6 with a win is incredible.
LSU in first without a first place vote is funny.
Yeah baby, got a point.
This week felt like a really good slate. Good job picking the games.
I just now saw this, and I submitted my picks. I picked what I honestly would have picked on Friday. Please don't let me win. I submitted just because entrants were still open, and I wanted to have more entrants. I am being honest, but you shouldn't trust me.
It looks like UC Davis/Idaho didn't get updated correctly. If you want our picks for that game, give me Idaho.
