My Mumme Poll ballot, Week 15

One change.  That’s it.

• Alabama
• Baylor
• FSU
• Mississippi
• Mississippi State
• Ohio State
• Oregon
• TCU

Also considered:  Michigan State

I bet I didn’t spend nearly as much time on my ballot as the selection committee members will be spending on theirs.

Mumme Poll, Week 14

Well, aren’t we feeling sorry for ourselves.  Not only is Georgia out of the MP this week, but Georgia Tech and Clemson each received a vote.

Rank	Team	Votes
1	Alabama	32
1	Oregon	32
3	Florida State	31
3	TCU	31
3	Baylor	31
6	Ohio State	26
7	Arizona	23
8	Mississippi State	15
9	Michigan State	11
10	Mississippi	9
11	Wisconsin	6
12	Kansas State	4
13	Missouri	3
14	Clemson	1
14	Georgia Tech	1

Nice.

I’m still getting a kick out of how we keep solving the TCU/Baylor debate, but the selection committee won’t likely have that luxury.  Expect the first serious screams about needing an eight-team field to arise from that issue.

My Mumme Poll ballot, Week 14

Sorry, I got a little behind today, as life intruded.  Here’s my latest ballot.

• Alabama
• Baylor
• FSU
• Michigan State
• Mississippi
• Mississippi State
• Oregon
• TCU

Also considered:  Kansas State, Ohio State

I dinged Georgia because Georgia deserves to be dinged.  Ohio State didn’t look dominant against a mediocre Michigan at home and they’re running out of quarterbacks.

Mumme Poll, Week 13

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say your interest is lagging.  Anyway, on to this week’s results.

Rank	Team	Votes
1	Oregon	46
1	Mississippi State	46
1	Alabama	46
4	Florida State	44
4	Baylor	44
6	Georgia	38
7	TCU	38
8	Ohio State	33
9	UCLA	23
10	Michigan State	4
11	Arizona	3
12	Wisconsin	2
13	Marshall	1

I’m a little surprised at the separation between Baylor and TCU. But I kind of admire the consistent vote for Marshall.

My Mumme Poll ballot, Week 13

Please, please, somebody in the media ask Nick Saban this week if he thinks Alabama exhibited sufficient game control against Western Carolina.  Please.

My ballot:

• Alabama
• Baylor
• FSU
• Georgia
• Mississippi State
• Ohio State
• Oregon
• TCU

Also considered:  Kansas State, Michigan State, UCLA

Yes, I’ve finally given in to the dark side and moved Ohio State into my top eight. The last spot was really hard to settle on.  (And, no, it wasn’t Georgia.  Those wins over Arkansas and Missouri look better with every passing week.)

Mumme Poll, Week 12

Here you go.

1	Florida State	55
4	Mississippi State	54

13	UCLA	1

Mississippi State gets ever so slightly dinged for its road loss. Wonder if the selection committee will see things the same way.  Still, that’s a very tight race we’ve got for the fourth semi-finals slot.

Ohio State survives its loss to Virginia Tech, but Duke doesn’t.

Go ahead.  Slag me if you must.
