My "AP" Ballot - Week 10
The AP poll doesn't factor into the BCS anymore, but if it did, at this point in the season, you probably wouldn't have to look past the Top 10 in order to see who was "still in it".
Given that I think that, you would imagine that this list would take approximately 40% of the time it took in the past to put together. The truth is probably just the opposite. Looking at who I had in the Top 10 last week (Florida, Virginia Tech, South Florida, and USC), I had to change totally how I was looking at the football world at this time last week.
And so, welcome West Virginia, Missouri, Kansas, and Georgia, into the list of teams, who probably still have a shot. The true list is more likely confined to the top 5, where I had just one change this week.
Oregon beating USC impressed me more than Boston College doing absolutely nothing against Virginia Tech for 57 minutes. Other than the Eagles keeping Virginia Tech from scoring about 30 points, which would have made the late combeack moot, and some of that may have been helped by the rain, they were ridiculously unimpressive. So for 3 minutes on Thursday, BC was better than Virginia Tech was for 57 minutes. That leaves me dropping them down a bit to the #3 spot.
Here is my AP Ballot for going into Week 10 of the season.
