My ballot. Computer poll. It’s still early so I’m not going to dissect it too much. Still grossed out that it thinks so highly of oklahoma, but I’m expecting them to plummet next week once they run into the buzzsaw that is Tennessee. FSU is still too high because of their SOS. One thing I do like is how it give kudos to Indiana, who is otherwise flying under the radar with a nice start to the season.
