There are only 3 teams in the country this year with an offense and a defense, and they're resting comfortably at the top of the poll. The rest? Explosive offenses with no D, or the reverse. I don't remember a season where so many "good" teams gave up so many points to "lesser" opponents. Outside of the top 3, I have no idea what's going to happen from one week to the next and this poll will reflect that.
As always, let me know what you think, changes can be made.
[Kentucky isn't in the poll this week because they simply weren't on the list. No idea why. The technology of this poll is so 1983. BLOGPOLL called me! --ed.]
