BlogPoll Ballot: October 15

By David Sokol on October 15, 2012 at 12:00p

The Eleven Warriors ballot has been submitted and once again, there was plenty of movement across the board, including the Buckeyes dropping one spot after they eked out a win over Indiana, 52-49.

Once again, you can also check out our ballot, as well as all of the others, on the BlogPoll site while also following on Twitter at @BlogPollTop25.

1 Alabama seems to be in a league of their own atop the SEC. They had no trouble with Missouri (no SEC team has trouble with them). 'Bama travels to Tennessee next week. --
2 The Ducks don't play until this Thursday night at Arizona State, which should be decent competition for Oregon. --
3 Florida has jumped up the polls quick-fast and is in position to compete for an SEC title. South Carolina comes to Gainesville this weekend. 2
4 Nothing has been luckier than the luck of the Irish. Notre Dame topped Stanford in OT via a goal-line stand that may be the call of the year by the referees. 3
5 Is K-State the class of the Big 12? We'll see when they face an angry WVU team fresh off a loss this Saturday. 1
6 LSU eked out a tough one against South Carolina in an SEC showdown. Yes, they actually scored a few points, too (23). 3
7 Refer to above. South Carolina lost a close game at LSU. 4
8 Oklahoma took the Red River Shootout and turned it into the Red River Blowout. OU put up 63 points against Texas in a game that was over in the first few minutes. 5
9 The Buckeyes are 7-0 after giving up 49 points to Indiana, a team that won one game last year and zero Big Ten games. Thankfully, Urban has a high-powered offense that is capable of scoring at will; otherwise, who knows where OSU would be.  1
10 The other OSU keeps rolling, beating BYU, 42-24, and welcomes Utah to Reser Stadium this coming weekend. --
11 USC is getting it done and got it done against Washington, winning 24-14. Nothing spectacular, but the Trojans keep the ball moving. --
12 FSU trucked BC, 51-7, and look to start rolling again against in-state rival Miami. We'll see what EJ Manuel and crew can do. --
13 Georgia has the week off and now they get Kentucky before going to Jacksonville for the "Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" against #3 Florida, which is a huge game on the horizon for the SEC. 1
14 Clemson was idle. They welcome VT this Saturday. 2
15 Miss State took down Tennessee to stay undefeated. They continue their patsy schedule this Saturday against Middle Tennessee State before finally playing a decent team. Oh yeah, that decent team is #1 Alabama. 6
16 Well, the Mountaineers got exposed on D by Texas Tech and got blown out. Geno Smith's Heisman numbers took a hit (moving Braxton into the spotlight). 12
17 Louisville started slow but ended up taking down Pittsburgh, 45-35. The Cards welcome USF this weekend. 1
18 Cincy played Fordham and had no trouble. They play Toledo before moving into the heart of the Big East schedule the following week. 1
19 Rutgers struggled a bit with Syracuse, but pulled it out. Their defense is their ticket to their first Big East championship and a BCS birth, if they can score some points on the other side of the ball. 1
20 Tech owned West Virginia, 49-14, moving them into most people's top-25. --
21 Stanford may have got hosed against ND, making the trip back to Cali a rather long and unfortunate one. A short trip down to Cal should cure the Cardinal blues. 4
22 Michigan takes care of business against lesser Big Ten teams. Enough said. They beat Illinois, 45-0. --
23 In a late night gun show, LA Tech stormed back and nearly tied the game in the last few seconds, missing out on a two-point conversion to seal the deal for A & M. 1
24 OU, Oh Yeah! Ohio is undefeated and raging towards a MAC championship. 1
25 Boise State keeps on quietly winning, beating Fresno State, 20-10. Nothing crazy, but they're getting it done. 2
