Purdue seems like the team with the greatest variability of opinion -- absent on a lot of ballots, as high as 8 on others. They need to play a real opponent so we can see what kind of team they really are.

Here's one. Pete said that he ranks teams based on who could beat whom. (I do too, btw.) I hate to pick on the guy seeing how he had to endure the hurricane and all, but...anyone want to guess Pete's take on the Tennessee/Florida game?

I might have to watch things more carefully, I can't have Josh giving Utah more respect that I do...
I must admit I kinda threw this one together at the last minute too, as I was recovering from Ivan myself.
Heck, If another one comes this way, I might head back to Utah...
I think we can all agree that HURRICAINE SEASON SUCKS! (Bring on the Snow!)
