WCBN Top 25 Poll (Oct. 31)

The third edition of our top 25 poll returns slightly later than wished, as everyone else this time around has been swamped with work (problem with being a student: do I make a poll or write that essay that's due tomorrow? I know I'm one hell of a procrastinator!!), but it is now compiled and ready to be released. So once again, here is the Top 25 teams in the nation, from the point of view of a bunch of college students (first place votes in parenthesis).

1. Ohio State (9)
2. LSU (3)
3. Oregon
4. Boston College
5. Oklahoma
6. Arizona State
7. West Virginia
8. Missouri
9. Kansas
10. Michigan
11. Virginia Tech
12. Hawaii
13. Georgia
14. Texas
15. UConn
16. USC
17. Auburn
18. Alabama
19. Florida
20. South Florida
21. Wake Forest
22. Boise State
23. South Carolina
24. Tennessee
25. Wisconsin

Others Receiving Votes: Kentucky, Virginia, Clemson, BYU, Cal, Oregon State, Penn State

Notes: Apparently our pollsters were not impressed with BC's win over VaTech as they dropped this week behind Oregon to the 4 spot. The back of the poll is SEC-heavy with 5 SEC teams in the last nine spots. Those teams added to LSU and Georgia give the SEC a whopping 7 teams in the polls, with an 8th (Kentucky) receiving votes. Finally, Michigan crawls all the way back into the top ten after that 0-2 start!!
