Blog Poll Week 5: The Eyes of Texas are a Cryin'......

After four weeks things are beginning to shake themselves out. Frank & I were pretty together on our votes this week with only a couple differences which we'll touch on later. The rundown:

1) Alabama: solid work in Fayetteville, now on to the Gators.
2) Ohio State: if Tressel wears a sweatervest on Saturdays does he wear coach's shorts the rest of the week. Seems logical...wait, WTF am I doing thinking about Jim Tressel's shorts?
3) Nebraska: Frank likes Boise a bit more so you can flip-flop the two if you like. Pellini started giving out black shirts after the Washington game which means big trouble for opposing offenses (plus, it has to be one of college football's coolest traditions....)
4) Boise State: impressive win & it's smooth sailing until Herbsteit, Corso, & Co. head there in November for Gameday.
5) Oregon: this whole "point-a -minute" thing is ridiculous.......and they are doing their best to get there....
6) Oklahoma: the see-saw continues. They certainly have the athletes, but which team shows up on Saturday is a question mark right now.
7) TCU: didn't look great against SMU but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
8) Stanford: very efficient performance. They are solid but not deep, which eventually may be a problem. Jim Harbaugh will be VERY well paid next year, albeit it at Stanford or elsewhere.
9) Florida: Hello, Mr. Burton, that's a hell of a way to announce your presence.
10) Auburn: a major point of contention between Frank & me. I had them at #6, Frank had them at #13. We were going to duel at dawn but diplomacy prevailed.
11) LSU: how long can this last? Jordan Jefferson benched & Gary Crowton still calling plays? The clock is ticking....
12) Arizona: a squeaker after a big game. Not all that surprising.
13) Utah: steady as she goes....
14) Miami: we miss Jacory's tweets....
15) Wisconsin: our other big disagreement. Frank had them #22, Hash #12.
16) NC State: we're probably ranking them too high but the pain still lingers.....
17) USC: better get to work defensively with Stanford & Oregon on the horizon.
18) South Carolina: great time to make a point, Spurrier.
19) Arkansas: played well against Bama
20) Oklahoma State: I'm a man.....
21) Iowa: back on track
22) FSU: defense looks to be improving
23) Nevada: El Pistole es muy bueno.....
24) Michigan: Robinson's knee a concern this week?
25) Texas: see El Pistole above.....

Out: West Virginia & Oregon State. Please don't burn our couch......
