Others receiving votes:
Kansas, North Carolina, Missouri, South Florida, Georgia Tech, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Florida State, Arizona, Stanford, Utah, Minnesota, Texas A&M, Notre Dame
Dropped out this week:
Georgia Tech, Florida State, North Carolina
Biggest Difference from AP Poll:
UCLA +9, Kansas -8, California +5, Georgia Tech -5, BYU -5, Miami (Fla.) +4
Well first I want to note that only fourteen users voted this week, six less than last week. I guess the heartbreaking crushing the Bears received drove people away from the blog for a while. Here's to beating the Trojans!
But other than that this poll still has some WTFs and other notable movements. First and foremost is the two first place votes for Cal. Huh? We'll discuss this more later. In other notable news the top-10 was shuffled around. Alabama finally gains enough to overtake Florida as the number one team in the nation. Penn St, Cal, Miami (Fl.) and Ole Miss all drop out and VT, Cincinnati, Houston (!) and USC return. One thing I'm glad to see is that Houston is finally ranked above a team that it beat, Okla St. What a novel idea! But other than that this week is the week of meteoric rises and falls. Teams that imitated the sacking of Rome include Cal, Penn St, Ole Miss and Miami while Oregon, Iowa and Auburn all shot up to fill the void. Lastly, I have to ask: has TCU done anything worthwhile this season (and no beating Clemson is not a big deal)?
The Biggest Homer Award goes to...
... CaliforniaCMB, and ttgiang15, 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
Ok I don't understand this. For the past three weeks voting Cal as #1 wasn't too bad even if you were playing it dangerous with the all powerful juju. But does 42-3 ring a bell to you? I'm saying that we should hold CaliforniaCMB and ttgiang in contempt of the CGB court!
The OMG Cal Sux Award goes to...
... ragnarok, Norcalnick, and California Pete, all of whom did not vote for Cal!
This award was presented to the user(s) who held a glass half-empty look at Cal
I can't blame anyone of you. Let's just leave it at that because saying any more is painful.
The Five Most Confusing Teams Were...
- UCLA
- California
- Mississippi
- Nebraska
- Brigham Young
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.
No surprises here as Cal and Ole Miss were heavily overrated and people are trying to figure out where they belong now. No one is sure of UCLA and Nebraska and are waiting for games that truly prove what these teams are capable of. And BYU is a WTF in of itself.
The Five Least Confusing Teams Were...
- Iowa
- Auburn
- Alabama
- LSU
- Georgia
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.
A little surpsied to see Iowa and Auburn in here. Apparently most thought these teams were good enough to be ranked. I guess no one is laughing at the Gene Chizik hire at Auburn, huh?
The Five Most Divergent Voters Were...
- ttgiang15
- BeastMode
- ragnarok
- California Pete
- GBB4188
This avard was given to the five voters whose poll differed most from the overall Top 25.
Let's ignore ragnarok as he's always divergent and plus we have his BlogPoll ballot to pick over. ttgiang is the winner due to his vote for Cal as #1, USC as #2, Miami at #5 and so on. Ok I'm going to stop here. BeastMode has LSU at #3, Florida at #4, Houston at #5, Michigan at #9, etc. The reason GBB appears is due to him voting for Houston in the top-5 (yeah!) and for voting Auburn, South Florida, UCLA and Arizona (?) all in.
The Five Least Divergent Voters Were...
- oskisunbear
- Ohio Bear
- Rated-R Superstar
- CaliforniaCMB
- racsan
This avard was given to the five voters whose poll differed the least from the overall Top 25.
Not much to say here but I'm stunned that CaliforniaCMB is on the list after voting for Cal at #1...

I feel like being 9th most divergent of 14 isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Why shouldn’t Arizona be ranked? Their one loss is on the road against what we’re now calling a top 15 team. They just took it to the Beavers to prove that they’re a factor in the conference this year.
I am a horrible bruin-bear crossbreed.
royrules, the fact that you didn't throw out such jinx-worthy ballots
Is another compelling sign of your disloyalty. This will be Exhibit 25!

I was busy this weekend and didn’t watch the game. When I saw the final score, I was too mad to participate in anything like this this week. Let it be known, if I voted, Cal would not have been ranked.
(I also find it weird that while the past few weeks only a couple people voted for Cal #1, myself being one of them, and now after this week we have new people voting Cal #1 who didn’t before?)
Hooray for Houston over Oklahoma St!
i give you permission to post my poll
… primarily because I forgot how I voted. I stand by my Cal vote, though. Jahvid Best for Heisman, Tedford is God. California is most good futbol team on Earth. Go Bares!

Houston
They received one vote before they beat Oklahoma State. They had a lot of ground to make up and they made up a lot of it by beating Oklahoma State. After Houston beat Oklahoma State, Oklahoma State was still ranked ahead of Houston in the real poll. They’re ranked ahead of them now, yeah, but I didn’t rank Houston after beating Oklahoma State. They weren’t even on the radar to begin with and one win just like that shouldn’t make them ranked.

You’re not really providing any ‘football’ reasons though. It seems to me that where you are in a pre-season poll or one of the real polls doesn’t have anything to do with how good a team is.

Providing "Football" Reasons
You’re not really providing any ‘football’ reasons though.
The poll wasn’t providing “football” reasons, then.
UTEP showed how for real Houston was tonight, anyway.

Lending credence to pre and early-season polls is stupid.
