These polls always drive me crazy. There is never any rhyme nor reason to them.

For example, how do you justify dropping Clemson from 10 to 17 when they lost to a higher ranked team (Florida State was #4 and the game was @ Florida state) and yet you only drop Oklahoma (who was #6 yet lost to #15 Kansas State at home) from #6 to #16? To me it seems as if OK should have dropped much lower or Clemson much less so.

Also, how do you justify dropping LSU only one spot (from #2 to 3) when they just barely beat unranked Auburn by 2 points, and not move Florida State up from #4 when they beat 10th ranked Clemson? I would have dropped LSU below FSU, Georgia, South Carolina AND K State, who are all at the same 4-0 record as LSU but had quality wins.

MSU creeps up in the standings just a little in each poll, and UofM plummets down to...oh wait, I don't even see them. Probably will not see them again for a while with Denard as their QB.

Texas actually really impressed me and showed some real character. Meanwhile, West Virginia racked up more points than seems plausible but also totally phoned it in defensively. I'll think about these for a few more days but my initial thought is Texas exposes WV in a big way.

I only got to see the last half of the South Carolina game yesterday...It was freakin great, would have been a lot better if it hand't been so necessary to have a 28-0 run over a team you should have wiped the first quarter, much less the second half. But...

Gettin mah groove back, lol.

I was happy to see Clemson get by BC yesterday. BC always gives Clemson a hard time and especially at BC's home field. It was gut-check as they could've let the wheels come off after last week's disappointment.

Yea, I didn't see it but Clemson also showed a lot of character. They're for real this year!

Ohio State / Michigan State was a good game too. Both teams were very evenly matched--played great in places, made mistakes in others.

And how about Penn State? Who would have thought they'd turn things around like this. Their coach deserves a man of the year award if it continues. I'd really like to see them have a winning season and make a bowl game.

I should mention that Clemson's win was without star receiver Sammy Watkins! We're actually 3-0 without him.

My picks...

Week 6
Virginia Tech @ North Carolina ~ VaTech
Arizona @ Stanford ~ Stanford
LSU @ Florida ~ Florida
Georgia Tech @ Clemson ~ Clemson
Oklahoma @ Texas Tech ~ Texas Tech
Michigan @ Purdue ~ Purdue
Georgia @ South Carolina ~ South Carolina
West Virginia @ Texas ~ Wesr Virginia
Miami @ Notre Dame (at Soldier Field) ~ Miami
Nebraska @ Ohio State ~ Ohio State

Okay, to be perfectly honest I believe my Baby Canes will likely lose to Notre Dame though I believe they certainly have the ability to win. If it were later in the season and the defense had a few more games under their belt I'd feel much better about it.

Gooooooooo Canes!

Not feeling confident at all about that West Virginia pick. Feel like they're overrated and due for a good thrashing.

Glad you stuck with your baby Canes, Vee! I always pick ND even if I secretly think they'll lose.

Big personal LW game! ND needs to keep proving themselves IMO and this game will be critical for them.
