Why do I love this sport? I could’ve been an mlb fan…
Here’s my ballot from my computer poll. Big movers include Washington, Kansas, Florida, Iowa State, and Syracuse moving up 20+ spots. There were several big losers this week including my Mountaineers, who I got to see lose to Baylor at home. But at least the tailgate was nice, right?? But the biggest loser is… Western Kentucky losing to then 3-6 LA Tech.

This time it was Clemson who beat out uf, not happy either way.
I’m not one to judge, I ranked them top ten as well. I know they have apparently one of the easiest schedules, but being undefeated is no small task at this point in the season.

As usual, my methodology is a mystery, even I don’t know how I can up with this list, I just asked my dog and he barked if he agreed with my choice.
Apparently we forgot Indiana was on a Bye this week, oops. But to be fair, my dog barely remembers how glass doors work.
