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.
TCU gets my approval as the number one team in the land after their beat down over New Mexico. Yes, it was only New Mexico but Texas struggled against Texas A&M as did Alabama against Auburn. The Horned Frogs did not show a weakness in that game and took care of business.
I also, was very close to dropping Alabama behind Boise State before thinking better of it kept Boise at five. Not to say the Broncos would not beat Alabama but did not feel right about dropping Alabama. I did keep Utah in the polls, because I think they are better then North Carolina, Clemson, and Arizona. I am wondering though if the seven spot jump by BYU is justifiable since they beat Utah in overtime and played a poor offensive game.
Let me know if any changes should be made.
