Dear God the carnage this past Saturday. Since I didn't go to the game I got a chance to watch a lot of football. I had to go to a bar to watch Penn State play Illinois, so at the same time I got to watch Purdue and Notre Dame as well as Michigan and Northwestern. Then I came home and flipped around between Michigan State-Wisconsin, Auburn-Florida, and USC-Washington. I also watched most of South Florida-West Virginia. Now on to the ballot.

If you had told me before the season I would have South Carolina, Boston College, Kentucky, and South Florida ranked in the top ten I would say you're crazy. But there it is.
I feel good about the top five, but after that who knows. I think we're headed toward a huge BCS controversy this year. I can picture one undefeated team and five or six teams with one loss all claiming they deserve a shot to play them.
Anyway, discuss the ballot. I'm not sure about a few teams. I'm not convinced Virginia Tech is a top 15 team, but everyone else keeps losing so I have no choice but to rank some of these teams where they are.
