• Yeah, I’m a little surprised somebody left FSU off a ballot this week.  I’m almost as surprised somebody put Florida on a ballot this week.  Which makes me wonder if the same somebody screwed up clicking on the drop down menu.
• Hard not to miss the rapid ascent of both Baylor and Missouri.
• I’m not feeling the Texas Tech love.  Yes, they’re undefeated, but they’ve played a weak schedule so far.  That being said, they’ve got both Oklahoma schools and Baylor coming up, so they’ll have the opportunity to justify a place in the top ten.
• Going back to FSU, it looks like the ‘Noles are cannibalizing some of the “anybody but Alabama at the top” support that Oregon was getting.  Is that a harbinger of things to come in the last season of the BCS?
• Ohio State abides.
