Why do I love this sport? I could’ve been an mlb fan…
My ballot. Computer poll. One of the biggest winners this week is Kansas, which rises 21 spots to just outside the rankings at #26, a whole 22 spots ahead of the next sub-500 team.

Big movers include Washington, Kansas, Florida, Iowa State, and Syracuse moving up 20+ spots. There were several big losers this week including my Mountaineers, who I got to see lose to Baylor at home. But at least the tailgate was fun, right?? But the biggest loser is… Western Kentucky losing to then 3-6 LA Tech.

As usual, my methodology is a mystery, even I don’t know how I can up with this list, I just asked my dog and he barked if he agreed with my choice.
Apparently we forgot Indiana was on a Bye this week, oops. But to be fair, my dog barely remembers how glass doors work.

This time it was Clemson who beat out uf, not happy either way.
I’m not one to judge, I ranked them top ten as well. I know they have apparently one of the easiest schedules, but being undefeated is no small task at this point in the season.
