Real life has been interfering in all sorts of nasty ways recently, so I don't have the time to go into a discussion on the blogpoll as much as I'd like.  But I did take the comments on the draft onboard and made some modifications to the final ballot:

Rank	Team	Delta
1	Florida
2	Alabama
3	Texas
4	Iowa	4
5	Southern Cal	2
6	Cincinnati	4
7	Boise State	2
8	TCU	2
9	Virginia Tech	5
10	Miami (Florida)	5
11	Penn State	2
12	Oregon
13	Brigham Young	3
14	Utah	4
15	Georgia Tech	5
16	West Virginia	3
17	LSU
18	Nebraska	9
19	Arizona	3
20	Ohio State	9
21	Pittsburgh
22	Texas Tech
23	Idaho
24	South Carolina	1
25	Central Michigan
Last week's ballot

Dropped Out: South Florida (#14), Wisconsin (#21), Kansas (#23), Oklahoma (#24).

Changes

• Cincinnati Up  It's obvious that their season goes beyond the norm.  Winning games with # of play deficits in the 2:1 range just doesn't happen often.
• TCU Down  Like I said before, I have no problem with them up at #4, but I can understand the argument.  They're ticked down and awaiting BYU.
• PSU Down  Big numbers against weak teams is usually a pretty good sign, but it never feels good to base a team's strength on that.  So they get to wait until they play somebody else.
• Texas Tech Up  I feel they're at least a more dangerous team to face than Central Michigan, South Carolina, and Idaho, so up they go.  They're just so schizophrenic this year, though.

If I counted it right, the total delta on the ballot is 98, which is a shade higher than I expected.  Not bad, though.

And as always, thanks again for the feedback.
