Half the BlogPoll Ballot

Now that it's October and everyone has played at least a third of their games, I'm switching to a mostly resume-based approach. It's still a small sample size though, so I am going to make some allowances based on expectations. Some teams are clearly good but haven't beaten anyone yet (e.g. Stanford and Oregon), while some don't have a good win but it's not for lack of trying (e.g. Texas A&M and FSU).

The numbers next to teams are their AP Poll ranks. I think the AP Poll is the best of the mainline polls and provides a decent starting point. That's the only thing I use the AP ranks for though; I placed teams in positions based on my own reasoning.
