IS GLAD SPRING TRAINING IS FINALLY HERE
I just e-mailed my Associated Press ballot in and there was some shake-up at the top, obviously, after yesterday's games. Florida is the new No. 1. Alabama, after losing to the Gators, drops to No. 4. I still have Texas ranked ahead of Oklahoma at No. 2, even though it looks like the Sooners will wind up No. 2 in the BCS standings and thus in the national championship game. Penn State remains at No. 6 right behind its opponent in the Rose Bowl, Southern Cal. Here's the ballot in its entirety:
1. Florida (12-1)
2. Texas (11-1)
3. Oklahoma (12-1)
4. Alabama (12-1)
5. Southern Cal (11-1)
6. Penn State (11-1)
7. Texas Tech (11-1)
8. Ohio State (10-2)
9. Boise State (12-0)
10. Utah (12-0)
11. Cincinnati (11-2)
12. TCU (10-2)
13. Oklahoma State (9-3)
14. Georgia Tech (9-3)
15. Oregon (9-3)
16. Georgia (9-3)
17. BYU (10-2)
18. Michigan State (9-3)
19. Pittsburgh (9-3)
20. Northwestern (9-3)
