BLOGPOLL 2008 - SEPTEMBER 3 BALLOT

This is probably final, though if you get a suggestion to me before the Wednesday deadline, I'll consider it.

Please note: As a general rule, these will be posted on Mondays. Yesterday was a holiday. Deal with it.

As far as games viewed, I saw bunches of the games from the noon ET window, including Akron-Wisconsin, Bowling Green-Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech-East Carolina, Syracuse-Northwestern, Youngstown State-Ohio State, Whoever-Iowa, Western Kentucky-Indiana, and Hawaii-Florida (watched it online before the feed got too choppy).

I also caught the second half of Fresno State-Rutgers, most of UCLA-Tennessee from Monday as well as Colorado State-Colorado Sunday night.

Dropped Out: Illinois (#21).

I dropped Illinois out because they need some work, though it sounds like they played somewhat competitively against Missouri. You'll notice Clemson and Virginia Tech fell dramatically. I was impressed by Fresno State and not so much by Wisconsin. It was nice to see Tennessee validate my decision to leave them out. Nothing like capitalizing on four first-half interceptions from a shaky QB by scoring seven of your 14 points on a blocked punt.
