Week 6 Big East Bloggers Poll

I know, I know, I don't want to see this week's ranking either. While I still think USF may end up a top-20 team, this past week was ugly. And apparently the voters don't think USF is one of the 25 best teams in the country anymore. USF is going to need to take the next couple weeks to regain their footing and continue their quest for a Big East title, and hopefully that also means they'll be climbing their way back up the rankings. But for now, here's our ballots this week:

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.

Mike	Matt
1. LSU	1. Oklahoma
2. Oklahoma	2. LSU
3. Alabama	3. Alabama
4. Boise State	4. Stanford
5. Oklahoma State	5. Oklahoma State
6. Wisconsin	6. Boise State
7.Texas A&M	7. Wisconsin
8. Oregon	8. Nebraska
9. Stanford	9. Oregon
10. Nebraska	10. Virginia Tech
11. Virginia Tech	11. South Carolina
12. South Carolina	12. USF
13. Florida State	13. Florida
14. Arkansas	14. TAMU
15. South Florida	15. Clemson
16. West Virginia	16. Baylor
17. Michigan	17. Michigan
18. Notre Dame	18. Arkansas
19. Baylor	19. Texas
20. TCU	20. TCU
21. Ohio State	21. Georgia Tech
22. Michigan State	22. Illinois
23. Clemson	23. WVU
24. Texas	24. FSU
25. Florida	25. Michigan State

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).

Rank	Team
1	LSU	146
2	Oklahoma	144
3	Alabama	142
4	Boise State	123
4	Stanford	123
6	Oklahoma State	122
7	Wisconsin	118
8	Nebraska	106
9	Oregon	99
10	South Carolina	91
11	Virginia Tech	88
12	South Florida	72
12	Texas A&M	72
14	Florida	69
15	Clemson	68
16	Baylor	63
17	Arkansas	48
18	Michigan	40
19	Texas	37
20	TCU	36
21	Georgia Tech	33
22	West Virginia	28
23	Florida State	27
24	Illinois	16
25	Michigan State	11

Received votes: Notre Dame 8, Ohio State 5, Arizona State 4

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.

Week 4 Big East Blogger Poll

Another week, another USF victory. As teams ahead of us in the polls continue falling, poll voters keep pushing the Bulls higher and higher, this week to #18 in the AP. USF's standing looks even better in our poll, rising up to #16. I don't like to het to far ahead of USF's potential, so I kept it conservative this week. You can check out my ballot and Matt's ballot after the jump, followed by the composite of all the Big East blogger ballots after the jump.

Week 3 Big East Blog Poll

Another week, another win for the Bulls. Yesterday we saw USF inch their way up to #20 in the AP poll and #22 in the Coaches' Poll. Now, the wait for the Week 3 Big East Bloggers Poll is over, and Big East fans will be happy to see two teams receiving votes. First, you can see the ballots of myself and Matt below, after the jump.

Week 1 Big East Blog Poll

Congratulations to USF, who broke into the AP rankings at #22 in the country after their victory over Notre Dame in South Bend. Now, we'd like to release our own poll, which includes ballots from myself, Matt, Jim from HailWV, Bryan from Pitt Script, Scott from BearcatsBlog, and Brian from Orange:44. First, here's my ballot:
