Love it, no notes
I’m not really convinced Oregon is a Top 5 team. And I’m not sure about Houston being ranked. I mean they lost to a bad (but improving!) WVU. Otherwise, it looks pretty reasonable to me!
I get it. Although it tends to get easier as the season goes on, it is hard to rank some groups. The group 4-8 is all interchangeable, and I don’t blame anyone else for having a different ranking.
Houston is really getting the nod because the one game I have watched them in, they played very well (at Arizona State). The score is much closer than the how the game actually felt, and I am giving them the nod for making my team look bad.
Plenty of movement in my poll, as expected. Surprisingly, Texas Tech didn’t get as much of a bump from the win versus BYU as I would’ve expected.
