I've been posting these off and on for several years now. I started when I lived in Reno and Murray wrote for the Reno paper. I find it interesting to see one guys ballot.
Anyway:
On the rise * Iowa: Five games in Week 1 pitted ranked foes against each other, and while Alabama and Georgia won their big contests (and sit No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in our rankings), the big winner outside of those teams was Iowa, which knocked off Indiana, 34-6 (Indiana was ranked one spot ahead of Iowa in the preseason poll). That boosted the Hawkeyes from No. 18 to No. 7 on my ballot. Penn State also moved from No. 10 to No. 21 after beating ranked Wisconsin. UCLA, after strong showings against Hawaii and LSU, also moved into the Top 25 at No. 17. Finally, Nevada moved up four spots after its season-opening 22-17 win over Cal and sits at No. 21 in my poll.
On the fall * North Carolina: The Tar Heels were the only preseason top-10 team to lose to an unranked foe in Week 1, dropping a 17-10 decision to Virginia Tech. North Carolina fell from No. 10 to No. 22 on my ballot while Virginia Tech broke into the rankings at No. 16. After its loss to Iowa, Indiana fell off my ballot after being preseason No. 12. LSU (preseason No. 16) and Miami (preseason No. 17) also fell off my ballot. The worst loss among ranked teams, however, belonged to Washington (preseason No. 22 on my ballot and No. 20 on the overall ballot), which lost to FCS school Montana, 13-7, at home.

Lol see. Preseason rankings fuck up the whole year.
TCU? Why? I’ve never even heard of the FCS school they played.... call me a homer but a road win over Houston should count for more.... since Houston actually had 5 votes in the preseason.
Just comical how far teams move after one week.

I believe the sentiment was to be unranked until three or four games into the season. And then jump up and bite everyone in the arse...or something.

My comment was just more of the absurdity of rankings and any attempt to make them valid at this point. The bias is evident everywhere.

BTW, Bowling Green was undefeated this season until they played the Vols.
