BlogPoll Week 11 Final Ballot: Unfair to All

While most seem to agree that Oregon deserves one of the top two slots, there is a healthy argument regarding Auburn, TCU, and Boise State.  Fortunately, it's academic with the BlogPoll because it doesn't count towards the BCS standings (yet).  Also fortunately, there are still three weeks of football left to sort out the carnage.  Until then, here's our ballot for the week.

Again, the top is unfair, mostly because the BlogPoll doesn't allow us to rank everybody at #2.5.

Toward the end, I kinda ran out of steam, as a lot of teams have weak arguments for inclusion.  I gave a bit of a hat tip to the computer numbers but still tried to order them more according to discussion.  Does Utah deserve the placeholder slot?  Probably not, I guess, but I neither does anybody else really deserve to be in.

This is a remarkably static ballot, though, with a delta of 64.  This is because the top of the ballot remained virtually unchanged, even though I didn't look at that previous week's ballot when organizing the teams this week.  My hardest decision was probably the Oklahoma / South Carolina one, but both teams are inconsistent enough that the 2-loss record won out over the 3-loss record.  Still...
