Blog Poll is on the AIR!

So here is what we ended up with. I voted LSU #1 wondering if anyone would follow, and they did, as that was the most common choice by far.  I liked Boise in #2 for their big win but the poll left them #4.  Alabama takes a tumble but there's plenty of SEC games for them to get back on top.

The poll moved Stanford up to #5...I can't see that given who they beat.  It was a nice win and all, but I didn't see how you move them ahead of a bunch of teams who also won games they were supposed to.

Similarly, the poll moved Wisconsin up 1 with their win and I moved them up 4, but the blog poll has them #7 and I have them #13.  Notre Dame, which I debated, not only fell out but WAY out.

There are some other things here and there.  I think Georgia lost to the #2 team in the country, so I didn't drop them all the way out, although perhaps they are overranked where i had them.
