  • My ballot. Computer poll. Unfortunately, an Ohio State University built up a big enough lead with their win against Indiana that they managed to hold onto the #1 spot. If this were a human poll, they would probably be closer to #10 after their baffling performance yesterday... It also pulls Michigan back into the rankings and aggy doesn't totally fall out -- Texas does have quality wins after all!
