Blogpoll ballot

Saturday delivered one of those unplanned bonuses of being a father of two toddlers. My wife had things to do out of the house so I was home babysitting. At times babysitting can be a huge ordeal, but other parents know the key to dealing with little ones. You tire them out in the morning and they will crash in the afternoon during naptime. Their afternoon naps left me to watch a ton of football this weekend. With the added knowledge, I feel better about my blogpoll ballot.

(Because it is so early in the season I am still rewarding teams with perfect records.)

Games I watched
UNC-Rutgers 50%
Kansas-South Florida 50%
NC State-Clemson 50%
Cal-Maryland 50%
Michigan-Notre Dame 33%
South Carolina-UGA 33%
Georgia Tech-Virginia Tech 33%
Oregon-Purdue 10%
Ohio State-USC 50%

Does one loss really warrant a complete drop out of the Top 25 for Kansas and Ohio State? This seems a bit extreme to me.

Deacon Drake said...

Yeah, Kansas looked as good as USF on the Bulls homefield, which, if anything, ought to warrant keeping them where they are. Kansas is clearly better than the teams listed 19-25 and much better than Nebraska, who has brought in three of the worst teams in the country to build false momentum for VATech.

No offense, but being at home with your own children is not called baby-sitting, it's called parenting. I'm just saying...

I'm pretty sure USC could beat the Kansas City Chiefs and the St. Louis Rams.

Let me get this straight, you have Iowa ranked ahead of Ohio State. Huh?
