2. Ohio State (1) - 122 3t
3. Virginia Tech - 121 3t
4. Florida State - 117 5

6. Arkansas - 104 8
7. Louisiana State - 98 7
8. Nebraska - 92 9
9. Georgia - 83 11
10. Southern California - 73 14
11. Iowa - 61 hm
12. Texas - 60 12
13. Minnesota - 59 15
14. Washington State - 50 13
15. Northern Illinois - 35 16
16. Pittsburgh - 34 18
17. Tennessee - 25 6
18t. Michigan - 15 10
18t. Purdue - 15 19
20. Texas Christian - 12 hm

Honorable Mention: Michigan State 11, Miami-Ohio 9, Kansas State 6, Wisconsin 5, Nevada-Las Vegas 5, Kansas 1, Oregon State 1, Utah 1, Virginia 1

Top 13 were present on all ballots, continuing the general trend. Michigan and Texas Christian were only on 3 ballots, while Michigan State was on 5. (Go figure.)

Washington State beat Arizona by 23 and drops a spot?! Miami beats West Virginia by 2 and drops 3 spots?! Tennessee loses and damn near falls out from #6?! Damn, you people want blood! (Okay, I helped on Miami's and Tennessee's drop.)

It's clear who #1 is in our opinions. #2-#5 is wide open, as is #11-#13, with 2 points separating #11 from #13.

Next week:
#1 Oklahoma vs #12 Texas in Dallas TX
#2 Ohio State @ hm Wisconsin
Syracuse @ #3 Virginia Tech
#5 Miami-Florida @ #4 Florida State
Auburn @ #6 Arkansas
Florida @ #7 Louisiana State
#8 Nebraska @ Missouri
#9 Georgia @ #17 Tennessee
Stanford @ #10 Southern California
#11 Iowa idle
#18t Michigan @ #13 Minnesota
#15 Northern Illinois @ Central Michigan
Norte Dame @ #16 Pittsburgh
Penn State @ #18t Purdue
#20 Texas Christian @ South Florida

Sorry I was not available. I was still trying to deal with a 2nd loss by Michigan and just forgot about sending in my poll.

Man, if we lose to OU, I know who the first person is that I'm gonna hunt down...

After Texas loses next week, they will not make my top 20 for the rest of the year.

That's the punishment for all your build-up Dude :D

if we win, i better see a #1 vote comin out of you :D

Maybe if FSU wins too.

And Wisconsin.

And Syracuse.

And...Oh wait, if FSU wins they're my #2 after Oklahoma, since they'll destroy Texas :)

If Michigan loses to Wisconsin, seriously im going to cry IRL.
