College Football Rankings: BlogPoll Welcomes The AP To #CultOfLes

The LSU Tigers have been No. 1 in SB Nation Atlanta's BlogPoll ballot since Week 2. Just like most of last year, LSU has managed to collect the nation's best resume at the end of every week so far. The AP caught on this week, moving LSU ahead of incumbent Oklahoma, while the Coaches' Poll will take note at some point. Check SBNation.com for the poll results later this morning, but here's our ballot for the week:

And here's our voting breakdown:

 

Doug Jason

 

1 LSU LSU

 

2 Alabama Alabama

 

3 Oklahoma Oklahoma

 

4 Wisconsin Boise State

 

5 Boise State Wisconsin

 

6 Oregon Stanford

 

7 Florida Oklahoma State

 

8 Oklahoma State Oregon

 

9 Georgia Tech Virginia Tech

 

10 Stanford Florida

 

11 Clemson West Virginia

 

12 Virginia Tech South Carolina

 

13 Texas A&M Clemson

 

14 South Carolina USF

 

15 USF Nebraka

 

16 Nebraska Baylor

 

17 West Virginia Michigan

 

18 FSU FSU

 

19 Arkansas Texas A&M

 

20 Baylor Texas

 

21 Arizona State Louisiana-Lafayette

 

22 TCU Georgia Tech

 

23 Ohio State Temple

 

24 Iowa Arizona State

 

25 Michigan Illinois

Quick rationale behind my side: Not really all that happy with ranking Oklahoma No. 3, actually, but somebody's gotta go there. Boise State's wins over Georgia and Toledo count as quality, while Wisconsin has sufficiently buried bad teams. From there on out it's a bunch of ehhhhhhhhhhs until we get to ULL at No. 21, which has beaten a good FIU team and put more points on Oklahoma State than Texas A&M did.

Happy with how high we have Clemson and West Virginia, though I don't think either of us trusts Clemson one bit. And after last week when I voted solo and earned the award for least-homery ballot, I think Doug's placement of Georgia Tech might put us in the running for the flip side. Racking up achievements!

Stay tuned to SB Nation for more college football rankings.
