The biggest question of the week - how far should Oklahoma fall after their loss to BYU? How good is Oklahoma without Sam Bradford? How horrible is the Sooners' offensive line? Do I drop them further?
I did not drop Virginia Tech very far after their loss to Alabama. First of all, they looked better on offense than I expected. Second, they had the guts to schedule the game in the first place and that counts for something in my book. Note also that I did not move Texas up, still penalizing them for an embarrassingly week non-conference schedule that shows the gutlessness of their athletic department.
It's no longer a question of whether or not Notre Dame should be ranked - it's a matter of where.
It's a little difficult to justify ranking Nebraska and Kansas, but not Missouri after the first two beat up on lesser opponents and Missouri beat up on a BCS conference team, even if they're coached by Ron Zook, who sucks.
Ballot is after the jump. As always, feedback is required!
