Jeff Gravley: My AP Football Vote

Posted Updated

You knew there would be a shake-up in the top 5 depending on the outcome of the Louisville and West Virginia game. Even though the Cards beat the Mountaineer by 10, Louisville barely made it to the 3rd spot ahead of Texas. I immediately put the Cards in the 3 slot but only 3 points separate the 'Ville from the Longhorns.
My 6-10 differs from the national AP poll. I have Notre Dame and West Virginia ranked higher and Southern Cal ranked lower than the national poll.
Another big difference is Tennessee. They are 13th in the national poll but 17th in mine. I have Boise State, Rutgers, Wisconsin and Oklahoma ranked ahead of the Vols.
Georgia Tech is my highest ranked ACC team at 18, just ahead of Wake Forest. BYU was 25th in my poll last week and they move up to 22 this week. So here's my vote along with the national poll.
