SB Nation Blogpoll draft ballot, week 9.

Here is my week 9 ballot, which finally shows some life at the top after a few weeks of stagnation.  Of course, the top 2 meet on the field in a couple of weeks.  Still, the top 10 moved basically in lockstep, with Wisconsin and Oklahoma taking the appropriate tumbles.  Ballot and commentary below.

SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "

Nothing I saw caused me to juggle the top 10 other than to remove those who lost.  Unsurprisingly, one-loss Michigan State takes a decent jump, although I had the Spartans pretty high before.  The win over Wisconsin more than offsets the fact that the Notre Dame loss looks worse than it did a week ago.  The bottom end of the poll changed quite a bit more.  I begrudgingly added Cincinnati and Houston on the basis of their records, even if neither team has done anything all that impressive in any particular game.  Texas Tech makes a jump into the poll after a nice win over Oklahoma.  Baylor is in the odd position of having moved into the poll on a bye after having lost the previous week.  Fortunately for the Bears, the stock of two-loss teams is dwindling, and the Bears have a better resume than the likes of Illinois, WVU, and Washington. 

As always, your input is appreciated.
