SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "
VaTech was moved up and USC bumped down a bit. Oklahoma went downward. Georgia Tech moved up and Miami went down. Cincinnati and Stanford were added at the expense of Wisconsin and South Carolina. There were a couple minor tweaks after all that, but those were the primary ones.
I'm still debating leaving USC off future ballots for one reason: BCS at-large bids for the non-BCS conferences are partially dependent on the final BCS standings. If USC happened to be high enough, their inclusion could actually knock a non-BCS team out of an auto-qualify slot. If USC's probation excludes them from bowl games, then it shouldn't hurt another program's chances at a bowl as well. But for now, I don't mind leaving them in.

I'm totally cool
With leaving Precious out of the Blogpoll. I mean, I’d do it to Alabama too, after all! ;-)

I'm way late here
Question for Hooper:
Assume Boise State is playing against Florida tomorrow at a geographically centralized neutral site (say, St. Louis). Who do you think wins the game?
Assume the same scenario for Boise State and Texas. And also Boise State and Ohio State.
...just apologize for not thanking me.
