Wasn't sure what to do with the bottom. After about 30 huffs and puffs, along with more thought than I should put into places 20-25 in this thing, this is what I came up with.

I'm horribly underwhelmed by pretty much the entire group.

Hats off to the mid-majors in the poll. I count five, and I was tempted to throw Tulsa in there, too.

BYU is legit. I think Utah is very good. Fresno is solid. I'm not totally sold on TCU, but their reputation and a good start to their season. We'll see how they fare against Utah and BYU.

South Florida falls because of an unbelieveably unimpressive win over Florida International. Beating them 17-9 isn't accomplishing much. Everyone has their bad days, and I'm willing to send them back up the ladder if they impress me again. Texas Tech didn't really do anything wrong, but I'm sick of seeing them line up tomato cans for the pre-Big 12 season.
