You should give the Middies a vote.
I had them at 23 last week. Moved them up a notch this week simply because they literally ran the ball every play.
That's my kind of football. Passing is for sissies, like, you know, the Air Force!

Central Michigan won't truly be tested until they stare down Ball State.
And 0-7 Ball State has to get past 0-6 Eastern Michigan this week. Weeeeeeeeeeee, that oughta be a fun game.
Ball State wins 29-27 despite only 1 yard passing!
They only threw 10 times. Ran a bunch out of the wildcat. One guy had 300 yards rushing, another 200.
With that kind of showing, against that the tough Emoose, Ball State should get a vote in the poll.

Here's what I don't understand about the top of the polls. Alabama and Florida are just squeaking by mediocre to average teams. Texas is blowing mediocre to average teams out, yet, it's an article of faith that Florida and Alabama are better?
This weekend for instance. Alabama needs a blocked field goal to avoid OT against an exceedingly average Tennessee team. Florida struggles on the road against a mediocre Mississippi State team. Texas goes to Missouri and dusts an average Mizzou team.
With the exception of Texas' close shave against Oklahoma, its been that way all year. I don't get it.

I've never published my ballot, never saw a reason to, I guess, until now. But as the other person who voted Texas No. 1 last week (and did again this time), this is my reasoning to the letter.

Whoomp! (There it is) -- Another Day with Another Know-it-all
By SLAPPY4428
All-knowing know-it-all
It's time for another installment of "Ask Mr. Football"
Dear Mr. Football: Why does unbeaten Iowa keep winning and stay mired deep in the poll behind inferior teams from inferior conferences? H. Fry, Ioway City, Ioway.
Good point, coach Fox. We’re not quite sure what you mean by inferior conferences. Iowa beat teams from inferior conferences like the Sunbelt and Missouri Valley by the magnificent total of four points. It also beat two teams from inferior states like Michigan by three points. But the Hawkeyes have two things working against it. One, the Big Ten – in a conspiracy theory matched only by SEC officials on the field and in the replay booth – is considered in a down year for the first time since the 2008 season. Two, America loves an underdog, which is why Boise State, TCU and Cincinnati are so high. Win out, and we don’t have this problem. One of the two SEC schools will have to lose and Texas will eat its annual sh it sammich somewhere along the way.
Dear Mr. Futbol: Why can’t the officials off the field match the talent on it? Dougie S. Burmunham, Ayebama.
They do, Dougie. No one has noticed yet.
Hey dude! Love my moobs? I’m sittin here in mommy’s basement, getting high, drinkin beer and eating Hostess Snowballs out the Wazzu and you don’t know me and I don’t know you and I don’t care. Everyone reads my blog even though I can’t write good or spell worth a crap. I know more about football than everyone here. Hell, I know more about junralism too. Ha ha ha! I owen you. Danny Drillbit, Caves of Bandor, Narnia.
You’re right. You do. I loved watching you in The Benchwarmers. You were great as Howie.
Dear Mr. Football: Why all the love for TCU all of a sudden? Don’t these people know there’s only room for one non-BCS team that’s supposed to get love? Which team has been the most consistent over the last 10 years? Which team is the Gonzaga of college football, in a non-Jesuit kind of way? It’s supposed to be Boise State, not this Jimmy Bob Comelately! C. Petersen, Boise, Idaho.
Hey Chris! TCU is no stranger to the national pitcher. Back before your grandfather was born, the Horned Froggies had a Heisman Winner in Davey O’Brien. You might remember his sister Margaret, the child actress, or his bio pic by Monty Python, Life of O’Brien. TCU used to have some great running backs in Orongelo and Limongelo Tucker. And in 1938, they won a by-God honest-to-goodness national title. Not one of those phantom ones some schools claim by going 9-2 and finding someone to give a national title. So this has been a long time coming.
Mr. Football: Seriously. Central Michigan? Central? E. Uzelac, St. Joseph, Mich.
Dear E, While it was one of the many schools you never coaches at in the Midwest, Central’s lone loss is at Arizona – a 13-point loss in the opener looking more impressive now that the Wildcats are sniffing the top 25. Seriously. Central.
Dear Mr. Football: Which is the best team in the country – Florida, Texas or Alabama? Herbie Street, Columbus, Ohio.
Dear Herbie, none of them will win the national title. You can bet the house on it. Ooops, sorry. Wrong quarterback.

I have totally lost my mind. Sorry all, I just don't see the domination in an Alabama team and a Florida team that are winning like they are. Also, Texas is a joke, watch the tape of the Red River Rivalry.

I've never published my ballot, never saw a reason to, I guess, until now. But as the other person who voted Texas No. 1 last week (and did again this time), this is my reasoning to the letter.
I thought I was the other person who voted Texas No. 1 last week (and the week before last, and also this week).
Maybe you and I were the 2 last week and Bubs is jumping on OUR bandwagon. I had Texas #2 the first six weeks behind Florida anyway.

No way Jose. I've had Texas No. 1 all season. I had Texas No. 1 at the end of last season.

Here's what I don't understand about the top of the polls. Alabama and Florida are just squeaking by mediocre to average teams. Texas is blowing mediocre to average teams out, yet, it's an article of faith that Florida and Alabama are better?
I can't speak for anyone else, but my rationale comes down to best wins.
Texas' best win is against a three-loss Oklahoma team that played three-plus quarters without Bradford, granted, because he got knocked out by the Longhorns' defense. Its second-best win is by 10 points at home in a revenge game against 5-3 Texas Tech, which just got blasted by Texas A&M.
Alabama -- my No. 1 -- has beaten top-25 teams in Virginia Tech (neutral site), at Ole Miss and against South Carolina, not to mention Arkansas, which I put on the level with Texas Tech as a maddening offensive team.
Florida has won at LSU, which is probably a better victory than Oklahoma neutral site, and home wins against Tennessee and Arkansas are on the level of Texas' home win against Texas Tech.
