BlogPoll Ballot: Week 3

The top five in our ballot went unchanged after a wild weekend of football. You could even pretty much make the argument that these five have separated themselves from the rest of the pack, but there's still a lot of ball to be played.

Texas took a tumble due to their narrow escape from Central Florida while Wisconsin gets dinged for their Citadel performance. They get a stunned Iowa team this week, so they should continue to pile up victories, but this team remains hard to read.

Newcomers include Boston College (#15), Clemson (#18), Kentucky (#24) and Cincinnati (#25).

As always, you can check the ballots of every voter and the final version is due Wednesday morning, so get your thoughts in by Tuesday night if you think we got it wrong.

1 LSU Another shutout for Pelini's defense. The OBC visits this weekend. --
2 USC Impressive victory in a tough environment. Miles v. Carroll is lining up nicely. --
3 Oklahoma Sam Bradford has 5 more incompletions than touchdowns. Let that sink in for a second. --
4 Florida Meyer gave Vol fans 59 reasons why he's Fulmer's new master. --
5 West Virginia Like the Mountaineers need any more weapons, but Devine is damn good. --
6 Cal Still rolling. Beat La Tech 42-12. UP1
7 Ohio State Homers you say? This defense looks scary. UP1
