Week 5 Big East Blogger Poll

USF jumped to #14 in the USA Today/Coaches' Poll, and to #16 in the AP poll for week 5. This week saw a few Top 25 teams fall, but not too much changed from last week. Here are Matt's and my ballots for Week 5.

As you can see, Matt and I are still trying to stay on the ground by keeping USF in relatively the same position. We also didn't drop West Virginia too much; they lost the the new #1 team after all. With that said, here's the composite of six of the ballots from this week (Pitt Script didn't get his to me).

USF got bumped up into a tie for #12 with Texas A&M, and that's where we'll sit for a while as Big East play begins this week and then the Bulls lay dormant for over two weeks.
