BlogPoll Ballot – Week Three

Another weekend of college football brought another round of upsets among Top 25 schools. Sixteen teams made moves from my ballot last week and there are three new faces on the ballot this week. I had been holding out on Miami because I wanted to see them prove that they were who they appeared to be. Florida State’s win over BYU added legitimacy to Miami’s season opening win over the Seminoles and the thrashing of Georgia Tech proved that they are not a fluke. Welcome back to the world of college football, Miami Hurricanes.

1. Florida (1)– Won 23-13 over Tennessee. Game was closer than most figured it would have been.

2. Texas (2)– Won 34-24 over Texas Tech in a revenge game.

3. Alabama (3)– Won 53-7 over North Texas.

4. Penn State (5)– Won 31-6 over Temple.

5. Mississippi (6)– Won 52-6 over SE Louisiana

6. LSU (7)– Won 31-3 over LA Lafayette

7. California (8)– Won 35-21 at Minnesota.

8. Boise State (12)– Won 51-34 at Fresno State.

9. Virginia Tech (9)– Survived 16-15 at home against Nebraska.

10. Miami (NR) – I’ve been holding out on these guys but now I’m a believer. Their receivers seem to always be open and Harris looks to have all the time in the world to throw a pass.

11. Oklahoma (13)– Won 45-0 against Tulsa. Sooners have gone 8 consecutive quarters without being scored on.

12. USC (4)– Upset at Washington, 16-13. I think that the Trojans problems go deeper than quarterback.

13. Cincinnati (NR) – Won 28-18 at Oregon State looks to be the best of the Big East.

14. Ohio State (14)– Won 38-0 at Toledo.

15. Oklahoma State (15)– Won 41-24 over Rice.

16. Georgia (17)– Won 52-41 at Arkansas.

17. North Carolina (18)– Won 31-17 against East Carolina.

18. Florida State (NR) – Back on the map after 54-28 win at BYU.

19. Kansas (21)– Won 44-16 over Duke.

20. Georgia Tech (11)– One dimensional offense and lack of defensive speed cost them against Miami in 33-17 loss.

21. Oregon (22)– Snapped the nation’s longest winning streak with 31-24 win over Utah.

22. BYU (10)– Destroyed at home by Florida State.

23. TCU (23)- Won 56-21 over Texas State.

24. Iowa (24)– Won 27-17 over Arizona.

25. Pittsburgh (25) – Won 27-14 over Navu
