Cougs drop two spots on my BlogPoll ballot

As I said yesterday, I was pretty happy to see that the voters in the major polls only dropped the Cougs four spots in their rankings. My only real gripe there was that Georgetown still was ranked so high, and you saw why last night — the Hoyas have only looked good this year in beating the snot out of inferior opponents. Road wins against Alabama and UConn hardly were impressive, and they more or less were soundly beaten by both Memphis and Pitt.

In only had to drop the Cougs two spots on my BlogPoll ballot because I had already dropped them below UCLA last week based off the Bruins’ impressive wins at Cal and Stanford. It turns out the move was justified. I considered keeping the Cougs ahead of Duke and Tennessee and probably would have done it, had the game been more competitive from start to finish. But with the way that first half went, I just couldn’t justify it.

So, without further ado, here is my BlogPoll ballot. The overall results of the poll are on the right-hand side of the page. I’ve got some thoughts below my ballot:
