Once again, the ballot is devoid of comments. This should remedy itself by next week, as I should have settled in a residence by then.
On a related note, I think I've put together an interesting computer-aided component to this notebook's poll ballot. More on that next week, assuming that it does not shit the bed as it did last week.

Dropped Out: Penn State (#13), Clemson (#18).
A) Penn State looked like trash against ND and not much better against Akron. Out go the Nittany Lions.
B) Nebraska probably should have maintained, but the back-end of the ballot is so weak right now that by circumstance, the 'Huskers rise.
Wait 'til next week when the computer kicks in. The ballot is probably going to look dramatically different, especially if I weight it heavily.
Since the only good thing to come out of the Syracuse Football program recently is this Blog, I have a suggestion.
Syracuse Orangemen vs. Houston Texans...
Its a Win-Win for both sides. Houston could at least stand a shot of putting a "1" in the Win column, and the hearty Syracuse Fans might actually come out to see a pro team beat Syracuse. On the chance that Carr should continue to embarass himself against a college team- it would be a good win for Syracuse.
Pass this to the powers that be... it would be the closest any on that team will ever get to playing pro.
I like all the home teams in those games, except I'll take Texas Tech over TCU.
Big weekend of college football and probably big National Championship implications. Most definatley Top 25 implications.
