Is it really week 4? Anyhoo, time for us to show you our Blogpoll for the week. The top 25 is still murky, but at week 4, we’re starting to get some sort of clue as to who has talent (Bama, USC) and who doesn’t (um…Tennessee?).
| Rank | Team | Delta |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alabama | 8 |
| 2 | Southern Cal | 1 |
| 3 | Missouri | 1 |
| 4 | Oklahoma | 1 |
| 5 | Georgia | 1 |
| 6 | Florida | 1 |
| 7 | Penn State | 1 |
| 8 | LSU | 1 |
| 9 | Texas | 1 |
| 10 | Brigham Young | – |
| 11 | Wisconsin | – |
| 12 | Texas Tech | 1 |
| 13 | Vanderbilt | 7 |
| 14 | Nebraska | – |
| 15 | South Florida | – |
| 16 | Wake Forest | – |
| 17 | TCU | 4 |
| 18 | Oklahoma State | 1 |
| 19 | Kentucky | 3 |
| 20 | Ohio State | 3 |
| 21 | Auburn | 9 |
| 22 | Utah | 4 |
| 23 | Ball State | 2 |
| 24 | Clemson | 2 |
| 25 | Fresno State | 1 |
Dropped Out: Arizona State (#17), Oregon (#18), Kansas State (#24).
Why Alabama as number 1? My gut tells me USC is the better team at the moment, but Bama has a nicer resume. Why not USC on top?? First, Virginia isn’t as good as I thought, so that win doesn’t count for much. OSU struggled against Troy, which really hurts that win. Bama has beaten Clemson, Tulane, and Arkansas, all of which are better than Virginia, and Clemson is probably better than OSU. So at the moment, Bama has a nicer resume and deserves the top spot.
Things then stay the same until we come to Vanderbilt, which gets an eye popping 7 spot jump. Why? We’re gonna go ahead and jump on the Vandy bandwagon; look for the first winning season from them since Jesus was an alumnus.
Sound off, you may or may not agree, and we’ll consider any changes. But probably not, as we’re lazy and post this only hours from the deadline anyway.

Bama #1 you should be ashamed. If you were going by resume as you say you are USC beat a top 5 team, wait smoked a top 5 team. You said last week about BYU being so High that they beat UCLA that beat a ranked team. Now you are getting into speculation of whose opponents are better. Shame on you. Sorry to call you out but BAMA?
