My "AP" Ballot - Week 11

How do I reconcile the Big East mess that is occurring? Obviously I have to move Louisville out of my Top 5, although I am not sure they deserve to fall that far, especially considering everything else that happened this weekend. And I am not really sure that Rutgers is the best team in the Big East at this point, but right now, you can't deny what they have done this season. So they get the benefit of the doubt and jump into the Top 5, which could be danger.

No team I have had ranked in the top 5 has managed to survive except for Ohio State and Michigan. So, at the risk of spelling doom for Rutgers and their dream season, I am ranking them 5th.

Moving up this week are Florida, who I put at #3, despite a long hard think about it. They have not been impressive lately. Ever since Urban Meyer has started injecting Tim Tebow into the offense more, it seems like they get worse each week. I have my doubts about them, but right now, I can't see who to put ahead of them because they keep winning.

LSU, who I had at #7 last week, jumps to #4. Despite two losses, they are the most impressive two loss team in the country and their defense could face any team and give them a tough time. Let's see if they can stop Darren McFadden and Arkansas in two weeks though. Should Arkansas not beat Mississippi State this weekend, that game could be for the SEC West title. While I am confident that the Razorbacks can take care of business, you just never can tell in the SEC.

So, after much debate this week, here are my "AP" rankings for Week 11:

1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. Florida
4. LSU
5. Rutgers
