PrintNow that college football season is underway, complete with games and everything, it is time to put aside the sheer speculation of my preseason BlogPoll ballot and offer instead a set of top 25 rankings that are based on actual evidence; to wit:
| Rank | Team | Delta |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Texas | -- |
| 2 | Southern Cal |  1 |
| 3 | Ohio State | 2 |
| 4 | Auburn |  2 |
| 5 | Florida State | 11 |
| 6 | Oregon | 9 |
| 7 | Tennessee | 10 |
| 8 | Iowa | 1 |
| 9 | Florida | 5 |
| 10 | West Virginia | 1 |
| 11 | Louisiana State | 5 |
| 12 | Louisville | 4 |
| 13 | Michigan | 1 |
| 14 | Georgia | -- |
| 15 | Miami (Florida) | 4 |
| 16 | TCU | 3 |
| 17 | Notre Dame | 7 |
| 18 | UCLA | 3 |
| 19 | Clemson | 4 |
| 20 | Penn State | 6 |
| 21 | Cal | 14 |
| 22 | Nebraska | 4 |
| 23 | Virginia Tech | 3 |
| 24 | Oklahoma | 6 |
| 25 | Alabama | 5 |

If I had a vote, I'd vote the Vols first and the Noles second. No one else played and beat opponents of such a high quality.

My BlogPoll ballot is partly reflective . . .
If we were going strictly by performance, Division I-AA Montana State (which beat defending division champion Colorado) would be ranked and Miami (which is 0-1) would not.
However, as I indicated earlier, I agree with Rece Davis that, for the month of September, a voter's ballot should be "a fluid situation," subject to substantial revision as offseason theories give way to fall facts . . . and persuasive arguments.
