When I put together my poll I start with my poll from the previous week and paste in the scores for all of the games. I then start filling in this week based on the previous week and the results. Once I get to the lower half of the poll I'll check out who's getting votes in the other polls and research their records and how they've played. My poll usually goes 30+ deep so that I can monitor teams for future weeks. Right now I have Northwestern and Georgia Tech just off the bottom of the poll. If they win this week they'll move into the poll next week. Right now I have ND 7 and
OSU 8 basically because ND can't play D against good O's and
OSU can't play O against good D's If we win out and keep scoring pts even against bad D's I'll probably move us up. I punished
OSU for the game against MSU, which is how ND got in front of us in the first place.
