      Not necessarily disagreeing, but I am curious of your reasons for having both Indiana and Texas A&M over Ohio State. Does it have to do with how many games they’ve played or do they just look better to you?

        The main reason is, I try to over react a bit in my polls, because I am afraid if I don’t, the poll will be stagnant. “Poll Inertia” and all that is real, so I try really hard to avoid it.

        Indiana is #1, and I feel very comfortable with that. I think that 63-10 win over Illinois is the best win by any team in the season. The rest of their wins are big (If you realize 5 points in an Iowa game is the equivalent to 20 in a normal game.)

        Texas A&M is basically tied to Ohio State right now. I think Ohio State is a bit better, but the Aggies have played a tougher schedule, and have played an extra game. If Ohio State wins comfortably this week, while Texas A&M is on the bye, it will probably switch, but that is next weeks problem to figure out.
