Neither Adam nor I vote in the Associated Press Top 25. We aren't Harris Poll voters, and we're not judges on "The Voice" or "The X Factor," either.
But we do vote in ESPN.com's weekly national Power Rankings, the latest edition of which you can find here. If you're interested, here's how your humble bloggers voted this week:
Adam's Top 25
1. LSU
2. Oklahoma
3. Alabama
4. Stanford
5. Boise State
6. Wisconsin
7. Oklahoma State
8. Texas A&M
9. Oregon
10. Nebraska
11. Florida State
12. Arkansas
13. Virginia Tech
14. South Carolina
15. Florida
16. Baylor
17. West Virginia
18. South Florida
19. Texas
20. Clemson
21. Illinois
22. TCU
23. USC
24. Michigan
25. Michigan State
Brian's Top 25
1. LSU
2. Oklahoma
3. Alabama
4. Boise State
5. Wisconsin
6. Stanford
7. Oklahoma State
8. Texas A&M
9. South Carolina
10. Arkansas
11. Florida State
12. Nebraska
13. Oregon
14. Virginia Tech
15. West Virginia
16. Florida
17. USF
18. Texas
19. Baylor
20. USC
21. Clemson
22. Illinois
23. Michigan
24. Georgia Tech
25. TCU
As you can see, we're pretty much in agreement on the top teams, though I like Boise State a bit more and moved Wisconsin up a notch this week. I dropped Nebraska a little after not being overly impressed with the Huskers in person this past weekend in Lincoln. Adam gave Illinois a nice boost after covering them live in Champaign, and I also moved the Illini and Michigan into my rankings for the first time.
Adam kept Michigan State ranked while I did not; though I believe the Spartans definitely have a Top 25-caliber team, I just don't think that their résumé so far (wins over Youngstown State and Florida Atlantic, double-digit loss to 1-2 Notre Dame) merits a spot in the rankings right now. We also both said goodbye to Ohio State, though I have a feeling the Buckeyes will be back before too long.
