As long as the college football world order remains on spin cycle each week, you'll find the same schizophrenia on most ballots, incluing mine.
For the third time in four weeks, I have a new No. 1, though none of those three have lost.
At this point of this dizzying autumn, I suppose teams ought to be rewarded for staying unbeaten, and normally I hate penalizing teams for winning. But I can't in good conscience keep Michigan State atop the ballot after it squeaked by 1-4 Purdue at home (and lost another offensive tackle in the process).
