One person put WSU over UW....
Call me a sadist, but I can’t wait for the Apple Cup. I’m rooting for the freezing rain.

My poll looks the exact same
Except I have
5. Stanford
6. Oregon
To defend me: it is a power poll, which under my assumption, is that if these teams were to play each other on a neutral field, who would come out on top, and needing a last minute drive at home to beat Stanford doesn’t exactly spark confidence. Just my humble opinion.

I don’t know, I would keep Oregon ahead. I understand your point but geez letting the Ducks win on that last minute drive was pathetic. Yes, yes, I know the Beavs D has let teams drive on them too, but come on UO has no passing game with the QB in there and how can he beat you? Scrambling and what do they let him do? Scramble and run for how many yards? Sorry, but Stanford stepped back and UO stepped up (no matter how ugly a win it was) and not so sure it would have mattered where they played.
But I would put them both very very close.

I'll agree
I did think that Stanford was pretty pathetic letting UO march right down the field. That being said, without the home crowd behind them, do you think they have the motivation to?
Then again, they might have dominated without being booed all game long

Looks good to me
And we have another interesting weekend coming up in the Pac-10.

I mostly agree
This was pretty close to the one that I sent in but I had Arizona #3 and Cal #4. But in my mind those two are inter-changeable. My question to the other voters out there though, is when do you think Oregon State will deserved to be ranked #1 over USC? After all they did beat USC and have the same Pac 10 records. I too put USC #1 this week but I still am not sure why I did. Still living in the past I guess and hearing all the media’s love for USC. haha. I believe after a win this week though you will seriously have to consider putting the Beavs #1.
GO BEAVS!!!

when they win out
After they win this week I would say the line is fine between the two but give USC the nod because of overall record. Then when Beavs win next week then it is a tie, and when the Beavs beat the Ducks they go to #1.
IMO

It seems like everyone had similar ballots.
1. USC
2. OSU
3. Cal
4. UA
5. UO
6. Stanford
7. ASU
8. UCLA
9. UW
10. WSU
UO beat Stanford, makes me rank them above the Cardinal… ASU has been more impressive in recent weeks than UCLA, especially against Oregon State… Arizona did beat Cal, but they need a second win to legitimize themselves… WSU is really, really bad…
