There aren’t 25 teams worth ranking. Maybe 20 teams legitimately should be in the rankings, but then it’s almost random. Teams with horrible warts, bad losses, just big problems. I actually found myself weighing a ranking of Virginia and Maryland. Neither team should be ranked, but I had one spot I had been unable to fill. Ultimately it feels like a crap shoot.

Dropped Out: Pittsburgh (#14), Kansas (#18), Georgia Tech (#19), Virginia Tech (#25).
Why does Pitt drop out and USF stay? Well, USF lost on the road and it was a close game.
Reasoned arguments always welcome. I drafted this late last night, so there’s a good chance I missed something obvious.
Thank you for dropping Pitt out, the polls are our worst enemy.

Thnaks DW for not having our Panthers prepared once again! First it was ND four years ago, then Ohio U, then Nebraska. Then the following year it was loosing 5 in a row, the Uconn game was the high point that year in ot. Then the following year(last year) the injuries. Now this year Bowling Green, and a down Rutgers team that lost to both Fresno St. and a average UNC team. I really cant take anymore of this!

I didnt see DW blow coverage. I didnt see DW fumble a kick, I didnt see DW get blown off the line. Get over it. Stop whining about DW, the players need to play – borrom line.
