The Bandit Poll, Week 2

The Bandit Poll is like the AP Poll but not stupid, and I am the only vote.  Also, there is no week one Bandit Poll because ranking teams before you see them play is ridiculous.  The teams in the Bandit Poll will have much larger shifts week to week than teams in the AP Poll. I won't base where I put them each week on where they were last week, because that is moronic.  A win in the Bandit Poll is not just a win, how you win and against who matters.  Basically the Bandit Poll is everything the AP Poll wishes it could be.

1.  Alabama - Alabama crushed Michigan and is the only top 5 team to really challenge itself in week 1.


2.  Oregon - The Oregon offense looks as good as USC and they have the added bonus of a real live defense.


3.  WVU - WVU is the best team in the Big 12, sorry Sooners.


4.  Nebraska - No I didn't think Michigan State almost losing to a down Boise was impressive.


5.  LSU - LSU is good, how good is yet to be seen, they have one of the weakest schedules in the SEC this year.


6.  USC - Impressive offense, untested defense.


7.  FSU - I won't drink the FSU Kool-Aid until I see them beat Clemson.


8.  Ohio State -  OSU is better than last year, that isn't a huge compliment.


9.  South Carolina - A win over a good Vandy team gets you in the top 10, even if you did need a blown call to get the win.


10.  Clemson - Beating Auburn was a nice start. Yet to be seen if that was because Clemson is good or Auburn is bad.


11.  Virginia Tech - Needing OT to beat Georgia Tech doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.


12. Michigan State - Maybe Boise is a lot better than I think, maybe Michigan State is as bad as I think.  We will find out soon.


13. Oklahoma - Oklahoma is in trouble.


14.  Arkansas - Arkansas is also in trouble, week 3 will expose them.


15.  Texas  - Texas is Texas on offense, and Texas Tech on defense.


16.  Tennessee  - The Vols were surprising.


17.  Georgia - UGA is going to have a hard time in week 2.


18.  Wisconsin  - Just a pitiful performance, lets see if that was week 1 jitters or the true identity of this team.


19.  Mizzou - If they beat UGA they will officially be my SEC East favorites.


20.  Kansas State - Don't sleep on them in this year's anemic Big 12.


21. Louisville - Beating Kentucky will get you on the board, but not much else.


22.  Mississippi State - Could be the third best team in the SEC West.


23.  Notre Dame - I hated to do it, but they did look good.


24.  Vanderbilt - If USCe is where I think they are then this is a good little team.


25. Boise - How Michigan State plays going forward may tell us more about this team than their remaining schedule.
