Week Eight Blogpoll Draft: TCU is Where?

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 27, 2009 10:19 AM PDT in Blogpoll

The first big move is me putting TCU into the top three, and I was going to put them at two ahead of Florida but felt that would be too much. Around the other blog polls I am not too far off. Burnt Orange Nation has TCU at four and BCS Guru has TCU at three. Also, searching other voters they have TCU in the top five, which could get them up from eight.

I dropped Alabama for their near win over Tennessee which required a few blocked field goals, and that dropped them three spots below TCU while putting Texas to back to one since they blewout Missouri.

Miami and BYU still stay in the polls, but not by much this week. Ohio State gets back in after crushing Minnesota, but wondering if 17 is too high for their return.

As always leave feedback, complain, criticize, or praise my voting in the comments. The full ballot is below.

Not sure why you dropped Utah for beating a pretty good AF team.

Utah always struggles with AF. 2004, 2008, doesn’t matter. AF is a thorn in Utah side, and their D is very good this year. I’d have us ahead of PSU and maybe VA Tech.

Also, I think GA Tech is too high, but I'm not sure why.

They just seem to be inconsistent. It would be like ranking Clemson. Good one week, bad the next. I think Miami should be ahead of WV, CMU and Pitt. Those teams all won, but not in very impressive fashion over pretty average opposition.

Fumbles

They kept fumbling the ball and did not look real good, so that is why. I know they are always close but they really did not look great.

Looks pretty good

I still fault USC more for losing at Washington (3-5), Iowa’s wins might all be close but they are all still wins. Two of USC’s top 25 wins have dropped out of the polls so they are not looking like great wins anymore.

The Utah drop is fair if you drop Alabama for a close win.

utah went up in the bcs rankings to 16th

your smart putting central michigan where they are. guess who they play next. boston college. i think they can win game outright if dan lefevour has the same game he had a week ago. that also would be the 20 th win from non aq bcs schools vs aq bcs schools. the most ever. we are not even in the bowl season yet. i could see anotehr 4 or 5 wins coming out way.
