The Week 9 SB Nation BlogPoll has been released, and there were a lot of shuffling this week due to upsets happening, as well as ranked teams falling. Boise State benefited from a few ranked teams above them losing such as Rutgers and they moved up three spots to No. 20. Moving up there is nice, and the bloggers who take part are finally giving Boise State some poll credit. Perhaps it also had something to do with them blowing out Wyoming.

As for the rest of the poll, Alabama has strengthen their lead at the top of the poll after Florida lost this past week .They now hold 60 first place votes and have a sizable lead over Kansas State and Oregon. Kansas State earns 11 first-place votes, but they have a razor-thin lead over Oregon who has a pair of first-place votes. Then there is Notred Dame with three and Ohio State with the final first-place vote. The other undefeated team is the Big East's Louisville who comes in at No. 12.

Well here is the complete Week 9 poll:
