The new BlogPoll has been released and confusion reigns: Alabama is No. 1 with 42 first-place votes, trailed by No. 2 Texas Tech with 21, No. 3 Penn State with ten, and No. 4 Florida and No. 6 Oklahoma with one each. Texas checks in at No. 5 without being ranked first on any BlogPollster’s ballot.
Georgia dropped five spots to No. 13, just behind Ohio State and just ahead of Missouri. The S.E.C. also is represented by No. 16 Louisiana State.

They’re overrated! They’re underrated! She’s my sister! She’s my daughter!
Closer to home, the chase for the top spot in the S.E.C. Power Poll has tightened up, as the Crimson Tide lead the surging Gators by a margin of ten first-place votes to eight. The Bulldogs rank third, just out in front of the Bayou Bengals.
