Thanks for the constructive comments. I did make some changes from my draft ballot.

| 21 | Northwestern | 3 |
| 22 | Wake Forest | 1 |
| 23 | Michigan State | 1 |
| 24 | Georgia Tech | 2 |
| 25 | California | 1 |
Dropped Out: Auburn (#11), Connecticut (#17), Fresno State (#25).
It was with some hesitation that I put Cal in at #25. Pac-10 teams outside of USC tend to gak as soon as I trust to put them in the poll.
I thought a bit about having Michigan St. and Northwestern ranked, but feel better about it with the knowledge that one of them will be out when they face each other this weekend.
I ended up swapping LSU and Missouri at #2 and #4. Through schedules and hurricanes, there just hasn’t been enough seen of the Tigers for me to justify keeping that at #2.
According to the final BlogPoll this week, Pitt came in about #29. Up a couple more spots from where they were.
