    Here is my Human Poll

    I feel confident about the top 20, but there are about 15 teams that I thought about for the next 5 spots.

    Anyway, feel free to yell at me. 1 Indiana 2 Texas A&M 3 Ohio State 4 Georgia 5 BYU 6 Oregon 7 Vanderbilt 8 Alabama 9 Ole Miss 10 Georgia Tech 11 Miami 12 Texas Tech 13 Cincinnati 14 Tennessee 15 Louisville 16 Notre Dame 17 Navy 18 Virginia 19 Utah 20 Houston 21 Missouri 22 Texas 23 Boise State 24 Oklahoma 25 Memphis

    26 Michigan 27 Tulane 28 James Madison 29 North Texas 30 Nebraska

      Not necessarily disagreeing, but I am curious of your reasons for having both Indiana and Texas A&M over Ohio State. Does it have to do with how many games they’ve played or do they just look better to you?

        The main reason is, I try to over react a bit in my polls, because I am afraid if I don’t, the poll will be stagnant. “Poll Inertia” and all that is real, so I try really hard to avoid it.

        Indiana is #1, and I feel very comfortable with that. I think that 63-10 win over Illinois is the best win by any team in the season. The rest of their wins are big (If you realize 5 points in an Iowa game is the equivalent to 20 in a normal game.)

        Texas A&M is basically tied to Ohio State right now. I think Ohio State is a bit better, but the Aggies have played a tougher schedule, and have played an extra game. If Ohio State wins comfortably this week, while Texas A&M is on the bye, it will probably switch, but that is next weeks problem to figure out.

    Things seem to be settling in now, except for a few teams in the 15-25 range moving up and down. Also, Indiana is #1 for the first time! Probably only because they’ve played one more game than that Ohio State.
