BlogPoll is on the air! Week 3

The Week 3 Blogpoll is live.  Fire in the hole!  For the record, BG received points, in this case from Black Heart Gold Pants, who has a known proclivity to resume vote early on.  I did not vote BG in the Top 25 nor do I believe they belong there.  I also do not believe Michigan belongs in the Top 25, after a win over WMU and a win over Notre Dame which was incredibly dramatic but in which they were outplayed most of the way.

I still think LSU is number 1, as do most of the poll voters.

One other difference to comment on....

The poll has Stanford #5 and I actually moved them down 3 to #12.  Neither of their wins to date is impressive, as compared, in particular, to Oklahoma State or South Carolina.
