Not sure, but it should have been GT #9, Iowa #10, and PSU #11.

Wow, Iowa 11, that is bullshit. GT should be ahead of both PSU and Iowa as well.

Doesn't matter. WVU is behind Pitt as well. Most voters look at the 12-13 game schedule and take 1 game for exactly what it is, 1 game. I understand their records are the same. Some voters give the edge to the team that won. Other voters give the edge to that team that lost to two top 11 teams while the other lost to NWU.

Not sure anyone agrees, but I think Wisconsin should be ranked higher, atleast inside the Top 20. They will win their bowl game, hopefully the Outback Bowl. This team will be very good next year with Tolzien, Clay, Ball, and Toon on offense.

I look for Wisky to be good too. I estimate they'll return 15 starters from off/def. I look at next year as the year the Big 10 really earns a lot of respect back. OSU should be very good. Iowa should return around 16 starters.

Penn State has to be laughing their butts off after seeing that and JoePa probably crapped while in the process of laughing.

It really doesn't matter, thus I don't think most of the coaches care. They know they're eligible for a big bowl game whether they're 9th or 11th.

This terrible. I really can't believe Texas got 4 first place votes, that is a joke. Somebody desperately wanted to make sure they didn't slide out of #2

Anybody who voted for Texas at #1 should have their voting privileges revoked.
