Last week's ballot |
Dropped Out: California (#17), Notre Dame (#23).
I'm still not entirely sold on Boise State, but it's one of those things where I'm not ready to move anybody else ahead of them. LSU's two losses are 9 and 10 point losses to Florida and Alabama. Find me another team with two better losses to rank above them, please. Oregon stays in the top ten because Stanford isn't that bad and it can be explained as a hangover game.
Iowa's loss can be explained by the injury to Robert Stanzi, so I'm not going to penalize them much more than I already have. The new "fad team" in the BCS mix is Pitt. I think they're overrated, and it's hard for me to give much credit to any coach endorsed by Steve Pederson.
And yep, I'm keeping Oklahoma in the rankings for now. Yes they have 4 losses, but those losses are by 12 points total. Contrast that to Ohio State, who lost to Purdue, and people still want to rank in the top ten! Arkansas too; my smell test keeps them above some other three loss teams.
