SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings »
BlogPoll Criteria
1. You’ve proved it on the field (see: Florida).
2. You looked like a top 25 team even though you played crappy teams (see: Tulsa).
3. If two teams are close in resumes, I look and see if I think team X would beat team Y 51 out of 100 times on a neutral field (see: Oregon vs. Kansas State).
A few comments…
-I owe OU an apology, first to the students that your administration thought this was a good idea. Next to the fans because I didn’t think your team was as good as it apparently is. They would beat OSU by 30 if Bedlam was this weekend.
-LSU, despite having the offensive prowess of a junior high team, is ridiculously tough to beat on a Saturday night in Death Valley. No shame for SC in losing like they did.
-Alabama makes grown men quiver.
-I knew I had WVU too high (I couldn’t help it) but if they beat KSU in Morgantown this weekend (and I think they’re going to) they’re back in my top 10.
-So this Mississippi State thing in 2013…huh…
-Even Big 10 teams hate the Big 10 (as evidenced by the fact that nobody wants to actually win the conference).
-How wide is that back door into the title game open for USC? Is it cracked or can they feel a full-on breeze flowing through?
-I hope you paid your Cable TV bill last month to witness that bloody thing A&M and La. Tech participated in late Saturday night. A&M might have the most heart-attack-inducing squad in the country. You will kill old men, Johnny Football.
-Tulsa, welcome, you might be the second best team in Oklahoma.

Welcome to Pistols Firing
I don’t think you have any reason to apologize to OU. They looked like crap against K-State and deserved whatever drop in the polls they got. You can only be ranked as good as you look. OU looked good last weekend, so now they are ranked highly again.
How, how, how do you not have Texas Tech in the rankings? Their one loss was to a furious OU team, and they just beat the 4th ranked team in the country.
You’re right, I screwed that up, I’ll have them ranked next week.
