People's Poll 3: Never Underestimate Idiots in Large Numbers

In week 5 I will begin releasing the Matrix rankings with the People's Poll. But until I have enough weeks of data for the Matrix we will have to rely on good ole fashion, misdirected, emotion-ridden and sometimes just plain stupid human intuition as summarized in the weekly release of the People's Poll.

After a relatively vanilla weekend, this week's People's Poll looks much like the one from last week. Georgia regained its preseason position at number 2 after OSU soiled themselves against The (other) Ohio University. OU jumped to two spots after another dominant performance. Alabama rode last weeks momentum and gained another three spots after an unimpressive performance against Tulane while West Virginia tumbled 14 spots to number 21.

This week's shocker has to be Oregon, who shot up into the poll and up to #13. Another big win and signs that last week's victim (Washington) might not be so bad have impressed the masses.
