In the final BlogPoll ballot, Alabama takes the top nod with their win over Texas, but we took the Longhorns over Florida for keeping the game close without their leader for the whole game.
We never bought into the Boise hype and while they are a good team, we don't think they would beat Florida on a neutral field. Same holds true for Cincy and TCU, against OSU, Iowa or Penn State.

14-0. Won MNC game and beat 6 ranked teams over the season, defeating #1 Florida and #2 Texas in their last 2 games. | -- |
| 2 |  |
13-1. We liked Texas all year due to Colt McCoy and the Longhorns made the championship game interesting, even though Colt was out and a freshman was getting his first taste of action. |  1 |
| 3 |  |
13-1. Tearbow deserves his props, capping off a stellar college career with a BCS record 533 total yards and a 51-24 whoopin' of Cincinnati. | 3 |
| 4 |  |
14-0. Undefeated, but only beat 2 ranked teams and though we appreciate the Boise program, we don't think they beat any of the above teams. | 1 |
| 5 |  |
11-2. Won their last 6 games after Purdue Harbor and TP rekindled the hype surrounding him in the Rose Bowl. | 2 |
| 6 |  |
11-2. Won their first 9 games and defensively dominated the Orange Bowl. Could prove to be Ohio State's toughest test at Kinnick Stadium in November. | 3 |
| 7 |  |
11-2. We're somewhat B10 Homers, but we also think PSU can't beat the 2 teams behind them, with losses to only Iowa and Ohio State. | 3 |
| 8 |  |
12-1. Undefeated until the Fiesta Bowl, we don't think TCU's rushing attack could win a game over Iowa or PSU, after getting just 36 against Boise. |  6 |
| 9 |  |
12-1. Lost momentum when Brian Kelly left and were outclassed by Florida in the BCS game, possessed the worse defense in the top 10. | 5 |
| 10 |  |
10-3. Won their last 5, including 37-14 win over Tennessee in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. | 5 |
| 11 |  |
11-3. 12 yards passing in your bowl game doesn't get you in the top 10. | 1 |
| 12 |  |
10-3. High powered offense was shut down in Rose Bowl, but winning the PAC-10 gets you in the top 12. | 4 |
| 13 |  |
11-2. Only losses were to Florida State and TCU and demolished Oregon State in their bowl game. | 2 |
| 14 |  |
10-4. Won 6 of their last 7, with their only loss coming in a controversial ending at the Big 12 title game. | 3 |
| 15 |  |
10-3. Losses to Ohio State, Iowa and at Northwestern, while capping the season off with a B10 style win over Miami in the bowl game. | -- |
| 16 |  |
10-3. We've never been high on the Wannstache and the Big East. Pitt lost their last 2 regular season games and beat UNC 19-17 in their bowl game. | 2 |
| 17 |  |
9-4. Offense never matched the talent of their defense and losing to 'Bama and Florida didn't help. | 4 |
| 18 |  |
10-3. Losses to Oregon, TCU and BYU, with a bowl win against Cal. | -- |
| 19 |  |
9-4. The defense fell apart in the second half of the season, losing 3 of their final 6 games. | -- |
| 20 |  |
9-4. Went 4-3 in their last 7, after winning 3 of their first 4 games, all against ranked teams. | 6 |
| 21 |  |
12-2. Only loss in their last 13 games was at Boston College and played in one of the most entertaining bowl games. | 2 |
| 22 |  |
9-4. Didn't live up to preseason hype, after starting 4-3 and QB Snead made a big mistake leaving early. | -- |
| 23 |  |
9-5. Completed an up and down season with a 21-13 win over Kentucky in the bowl game, won ACC Atlantic Division. | -- |
| 24 |  |
10-4. One of our season's favorites after they played the Bucks tough in the Shoe. Won 9 of the last 11, including a bowl win over Missouri. | -- |
| 25 |  |
7-6. Plain and simple, a Big Daggummit to Bobby Bowden. | -- |
Dropped Out: West Virginia (#16), Oklahoma State (#19), Oregon State (#20), Arizona (#21), Stanford (#22), Northwestern (#24), East Carolina (#25). (Last Week's Ballot)

We shall see what Boise St can do against Virginia Tech next year!!
On another note, did anyone see Beanie stiff arm AJ Hawk last night?? Loved it!
yes, it seems he likes stiff arming the former Buckeyes.
Yo, just thought id throw this on the most recent thread, just read on Lamaar Thomas's facebook that he is transfering. He doesn't specify where he's going to. This really sucks, I have the feeling he was on the verge of a breakout junior year :(
In other news, the Japenese bombed Pearl Harbor
Whoops that info a little old? I'm in Turkey and this is pretty much the only site i get my Buckeye info from and didn't see it on here.
Thank you for your service...it is appreciated !
NO screw that how DARE you not be up to date on the latest transfer info about our third string WR?!?
you bastard
yeah unfortunately heard a joke that was actually kind of funny after that run from a fellow buckeye fan so no hate intended: "That was the farthest Beanie's ever run in Arizona in January"
hey no problem just a little sarcasm for a Monday morning..
I wouldn't worry too much about him transferring.. he was pretty much buried on the depth chart here especially after next year's players and the new recruits coming... he never had much of an impact on special teams either.. He's a good kid and hopefully he can make something of himself on the field wherever he ends up..
Ouch, that was good one though!
Funny comment, but Beanie did his part in Arizona last January, too. 106 yards on 16 carries. Nice game.
Yeah, Beanie has definitely *not* been the cause of our recent bowl game problems. He even showed up for the LSU game.
Why is Ole Miss behind LSU? This has happened all year. LSU is only up there from preseason hype...looks like even from you guys. Played a very similar schedule, Ole Miss won head to hear. Plus Ole Miss won their bowl game, and LSU lost theirs to a PSU team that was far from playing their best football.
*head to head
That might have been one of the funniest threads I've ever read on this site. Well played to all.
What better way to make a man abroad feel at home then a little good ole' fashioned American sarcasm! USA! USA! USA!
