CGB Top-25 Week 1 Results

Sorry for the delay folks. But without further ado:

1. Florida (23) --
2. Southern California (2) 1
3. Alabama 1
4. Texas 1
5. Penn State 2
6. California (2) 3
7. Oklahoma State 5
8. Ohio State 2
9. Mississippi 2
10. Brigham Young 14
11. Oklahoma 9
12. Boise State 4
13. Virginia Tech 5
14. LSU 4
15. Georgia Tech --
16. TCU 1
17. Utah 1
18. Georgia 5
19. North Carolina 1
20. Notre Dame 5
21. Oregon State 1
22. Nebraska 1
23. Florida State 4
24. Miami (Fla.) 6
25. Cincinnati 6

Others receiving votes:
Oregon, Iowa, Missouri, Michigan State, Kansas, Navy, Tennessee, Texas Tech, Arizona, Kentucky, Michigan, Duke, UCLA, Stanford

Dropped out this week:
Oregon, Iowa

Biggest Difference from AP Poll:
Flordia St +10, Kansas -6, OSU +5, Cal +4, Miami (FL) -4


It's generally sane other than the weirdness with FSU and Miami (FL). I blame myself for this because I opened voting before the game was played. Besides that and the lack of love for Mizzou and Kansas it looks pretty vannila.


The Biggest Homer Award goes to...

... CruzinBears, and Missing Barry, all of whom voted for Cal as #1!

This award was presented to the user(s) who loved Cal the most out of everyone who voted this week

2 less than pre-season despite our beatdown of the Terps!


The OMG Cal Sux Award goes to...

... Rated-R Superstar who voted for Cal as #12!

This award was presented to the user(s) who held a glass half-empty look at Cal

This is still pretty optimistic for Cal fans...


The Five Most Confusing Teams Were...

  1. Florida State
  2. Notre Dame
  3. Georgia
  4. Cincinnati
  5. Oregon State

Most people had the most trouble figuring out where these five teams belonged. This list is limited to teams that are in the top-25 only.

Well FSU's problem was explained above. Notre Dame and OSU are always confusing.


The Five Least Confusing Teams Were...

  1. Florida
  2. Southern California
  3. Alabama
  4. Penn State
  5. Texas

Most people were generally on the same page when it came to these teams. This list is limited to teams that are in the top-25 only otherwise all the crappy teams would top this list.

Naturally the top 5.


The Five Most Divergent Voters Were...

  1. CruzinBears
  2. Norcalnick
  3. rocksanddirt
  4. ragnarok
  5. JShufelt

This avard was given to the five voters whose poll differed most from the overall Top 25.

Missing Barry isn't here! Really the only weird votes are CruizinBears' votes for Arizona and UCLA, granted it was for #23 and #25 respectively.


The Five Least Divergent Voters Were...

  1. trisweb
  2. Rated-R Superstar
  3. since1997
  4. CaliforniaCMB
  5. Davis Bear

This avard was given to the five voters whose poll differed the least from the overall Top 25.

The OMG Cal Sux Award goes to…

… Rated-R Superstar who voted for Cal as #12!

I didn’t move Cal up because I didn’t think Oklahoma and Virginia Tech deserved to drop so far.

Huh, I guess I was so high on the divergent list because I really punished Oklahoma, V. Tech and Georgia more than most. When you get outgained by Alabama 498 to 155 I tend to punish you. I guess I could have been kinder to Oklahoma because of injuries and Georgia for playing on the road. Eh, they’ll have their chance to win their way back into the poll.

Wait, wait, wait, hold on a second. So last week, when I maintain I did NOT vote for Syracuse, I get called out, but this week when I purposefully vote for Duke, it gets no mention? Come on!

Since we are not including FCS teams in the votes, I voted for Duke because I wanted to give the University of Richmond Spiders some recognition for a quality win over an ACC team!

On another note, after UR’s takedown of Duke and W&M’s takedown of UVA, and VTech sitting on 0-1, I think we can comfortably assert that the best college football played in the state of Virginia is in…the powerhouse….CAA, home of the defending National Champions. I’ll take W&M, UR, and JMU over any 3 schools in any state except California, Florida and Texas!

Yay! I got an avard!
This avard was given to the five voters whose poll differed the least from the overall Top 25.

I’ll put it next to my award from last week.
