cartman's FOFC College Football Top 25 Poll, Week 11 open for voting

What a wild weekend of college football. I can't remember another time when 4 of the top 7 teams lost, with another only winning by one. The next poll should look substantially different than this one.

Poll submissions are due in by 6pm Central, Thursday Nov. 16th. I plan to get the results posted prior to the West Virginia-Pitt game.

Code:
Team Rec. Weekend Result 1. Ohio State 11-0 beat Northwestern 54-10 2. Michigan 11-0 beat Indiana 34-3 3. Louisville 8-1 lost to #11 Rutgers 28-25 4. Texas 9-2 lost to Kansas State 45-42 5. Florida 9-1 beat South Carolina 17-16 6. Auburn 9-2 lost to Georgia 37-15 7. California 8-2 lost to Arizona 24-20 8. USC 8-1 beat #21 Oregon 35-10 9. West Virginia 8-1 beat Cincinnati 42-24 10. Notre Dame 9-1 beat Air Force 39-17 11. Rutgers 9-0 beat #3 Louisville 28-25 12. LSU 8-2 beat Alabama 28-14 13. Arkansas 9-1 beat #14 Tennessee 31-14 14. Tennessee 7-3 lost to #13 Arkansas 31-14 15. Wisconsin 10-1 beat Iowa 24-21 16. Boise State 10-0 beat San Jose State 23-20 17. Oklahoma 8-2 beat Texas Tech 34-24 18. Wake Forest 9-1 beat Florida State 30-0 19. Georgia Tech 8-2 beat North Carolina 7-0 20. Boston College 8-2 beat Duke 28-7 21. Oregon 7-3 lost to #8 USC 35-10 22. Maryland 8-2 beat Miami(FL) 14-13 23. Virginia Tech 8-2 beat Kent State 23-0 24. Texas A&M 8-3 lost to #25 Nebraska 28-27 25. Nebraska 8-3 beat #24 Texas A&M 28-27

Sorry Boise, but I honestly don't think you could beat any of those teams I have ahead of you, and I suspect there's a handful not on the list who could beat you as well.

Aren't Top 25 polls based on performance, not so much speculation?

Not exactly. To me, you are balancing who has earned a certain ranking against who you think is the flat out better team. There is definitely opinion/speculation involved.

In fact, in the case of Boise State there is a lot of speculation involved as they don't play many quality teams. I don't know if they've really earned a top 15 ranking, but I think they could hold their own against the teams in that range of 11-20 or so.

My main contention for having Boise State ranked high is their butt-whuppin' of Oregon State, a team that beat USC. I don't necessarily put a lot of stock in close conference games, since these are usually rivalry games, and teams that are familiar with each other are more likely to have close games than teams that rarely play each other. But that's just my reasoning.

I had to run out for a bit, so I wasn't able to compile this before the start of the game. I should have the results done in the next 20 to 30 minutes.
