Still a bit volatile for my tastes, but already with substantial override. It must have just been that crazy of a week.

Last week's ballot

Dropped Out: Southern Cal (#12), Houston (#16), Utah (#20), West Virginia (#25).

Changes from the draft are discussed below:

Georgia Tech moved down below Cincy and Boise State. Undefeated is still undefeated.
Virginia Tech throttled back two spots.
Penn State below Iowa for H2H and common opponent considerations.
Stanford up.
North Carolina in, Southern Cal out.

Schedule Strength

Seems to me, TCU has played a much tougher schedule than Texas has.

Elaine Kiffin will have Tennessee on probation within ONE year. Remember where you heard that first, Volunteer fans! He’s probably the only person alive who could make Al Davis look like the ethical party in a dispute.

Go Gators! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!

Hey, Chef

As the guidelines say, fans of all teams are welcome here, provided they contribute something civil to the conversation. If you’re here to just stir things up, though, we’ll send you on your way.

But, if you’d care to elaborate on the point you made about TCU and Texas, we’d love to hear it.

You could be right in that first assumption, Chef. At the moment TCU has beaten- The probable ACC Atlantic Champ on the road, The Conference USA West leader at home, a mediocre ACC team on the road, BYU-who-beat-0U-in-Arlington on the road, and Utah at home. Texas managed to gasp by Texas Tech at home, beat an injury ravaged 0U in the Cotton Bowl, and pounded Okie State on the road. I’d call Clemson and Okie State a wash at this point as Clemson is a much harder environment to play in than Stillwater, TCU beat a team that beat 0U, which I’d consider a wash with 0U, so you’re left with a big win over Utah at home compared to a relative squeaker against Tech at home.
From the point of the schedule, I’d say TCU has played better opposition, but I think Texas could be the better team. I sure would love to see and find out though. Dear Big 12 North- Consider sending TCU to the Big 12 Championship game to play Texas instead.
