Not really. I was thinking about leaving both off the poll, but didn't.

[Vegas Vic]

If you didn't leave them both off of the poll, why did you put the one that got blown out 32-7 at #17?

I felt that a 16 spot drop was too severe while I wasn't really impressed with TCU either to be considered a Top 25 team. YMMV.
