Week 10 Blog Poll Final Draft: Is it Kosher to Put TCU Number One?

The Blogpoll is set up by MGoBlog and is a collection of bloggers who actually watch the games, which is more then what the coaches, AP, or Harris poll voters can say. The poll is so respected that CBS Sports is behind the poll and it is posted along side the polls that actually count. Here is an explanation of the Blog poll from Brian himself.

Not many changes in the final, I decided to move up TCU back to three, because if they played Alabama I think they would be Alabama.  The Horned Frogs are one of the most balanced teams in the country and ranked sixth in total offense and third in total defense, nationally, and are as good as any team in the league.

I dropped USC even more after checking their last game more carefully which was terrible performance against Arizona State.  I finally moved Pitt up since they are actually playing pretty well.

Check back Wednesday for a fanshot of the composite rankings from all the blogs that participate.

I wouldn’t penalize Iowa so much for losing without their starting QB, they’ve played a rough schedule and should be a top 14-ish team. Definitely above Arizona (who Iowa beat head-to-head).

Iowa

I just do not think they are that impressive with our without their starter. NW also lost their starter as well in that game.

S’true, but Northwestern’s backup had seen more experience (as Kafka has been injured before), and I maintain the point about Iowa needing to be ranked over Arizona due to head-to-head.
