Blog Poll Thinks Oregon State Is Better Than Texas

Alright, let’s see if we can figure this out. You’ve got two football teams (Team A and Team B), each having only one loss. Team A lost to the team who is currently ranked #1 in the country and Team B to a team that is currently one game over .500. Team A has wins over teams that are currently ranked #15 and #19 while Team B has a win over the team that is currently ranked #10. Which team deserves to be ranked higher? If you answered team A then you are smarter than the average Blog Poll voter and if you answered Team B…well…I guess you are qualified to be a Blog Poll voter.

There is no excuse for USC to be ranked higher than Oklahoma. I know that some are going to try but you jut can’t justify it and those who voted that way should go sit in the corner and think about it.
