Full disclosure: My AP Top 25 ballot
Creating a ballot for the Associated Press top 25 gets a little easier each week, as the ballot becomes less projection and more results-based. There's still a balance between the two, and the occasional contradiction between the two, but here's my ballot after Week 2:
1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Texas
4. Boise State
5. Oklahoma
6. Florida
7. Oregon
8. TCU
9. Iowa
10. Nebraska
11. Wisconsin
12. Arkansas
13. Miami
14. USC
15. LSU
16. South Carolina
17. Auburn
18. Penn State
19. Utah
20. Michigan
21. Pittsburgh
22. Stanford
23. North Carolina
24. Houston
25. Florida State
NOTES: So hard to pick out the real 2-0 teams from those who have romped over lesser teams. Dropped Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech completely out -- Hokies lost to a I-AA team, bad enough that I dropped Boise a notch because it lessens the "quality win" they pulled out on Monday. Georgia Tech lost to a Kansas team that lost to a I-AA. I dropped West Virginia after an unimpressive overtime win at Marshall, but they could bounce back in by beating Maryland, setting up the game at LSU in two weeks. Also gave long looks to Clemson, California and even Air Force, which routed BYU. I'll be interested to see if Baylor, which has looked good, can give TCU a test this week.
