CBS Sports Blog Poll Week 7 - Didn't Watch A Single Game So I Need YOUR Help!

by Jon Johnston on Oct 12, 2009 8:34 AM CDT in BlogPoll

Hey, guess what! I did not watch a single college football game this weekend. No, instead, I spent all day Saturday at a Boy Scout Camp in 40-degree temperature with a blustery 25-35 mph wind blowing around, then spent that night camping in below freezing temperatures. Worst part - there were too many Scouts at the camp and we were not allowed to start fires.

Whooooooeeeee! Tell you what, when you get up the next day, you have the best bacon, eggs and sausages you've ever had. The coffee is great, too!

What this really means is this week I'm playing the part of a football coach. I didn't watch games. They don't watch games. Yet, we're still going to vote. While they may have SIDs who vote for them, I'm betting those SIDs aren't watching any football games either.

However, I have one thing on my side that they do not - you! YOU watched college football games this past weekend. You have it in your power to correct me. Who corrects the college coaches? No one! No one can because they don't even reveal their votes, yet mine are right here for you to scorn.

So have at it!

Sheesh!

Not bad for a guy who spent the weekend in a tent! That’s just one of the great fall activities you can participate in when we’ve got a Thursday night game…My wife was so juiced about having 2 consecutive Husker free Saturdays with all the travel and Saturday activity possibilities she could dream of – that she wound up overloading her brain and we spent the weekends at home rearranging the furniture. Still, she’s happy about that, so…?

My only fiddly thoughts….I agree with the distinguished Mr. Corn and I’d add Iowa no higher than 12 and slide the rest down and I could see Missou in at # 24 since they only lost to us and Penn State’s beaten no one of note…Of course, this weekend’s matchup with Okie State will tell us more, but I thought they were pretty darned good (especially on Defense) and that Gabbert kid is tough…I like his moxie.

LSU at 17 seems rough, but they’ve go NO offense, so I can’t disagree…and if you need to pull someone, I could see pulling Georgia.

LSU is right where they need to be

After watching that game, yuck is the only word that would describe that offense. Also the play calling was suspect. Florida has a fast def and no screens or play actions for um a raw qb to say the least. They left him out to dry

I'm glad I don't have to do these

I just can’t see us being a Top 10 team…yet. Maybe I still have the Calahan years rattling in my head, but I want to see how we play against TTech and Oklahoma before seeing us ranked 10th or better.

BUT…I also can’t see Miami ranked above us. I don’t care if they’re just one spot below, we hung with and very nearly beat Virginia Tech, while they got BLASTED by the Hokies. So…that makes them better than us?
