BlogPoll Top 25 Ballot, Week 5: ASU Returns, Oklahoma State Rises

Alright, this week's BlogPoll entry will cause some consternation amongst the readers of this blog. Why, you ask? Because I have adopted a new strategy for the process. Basically, if you're undefeated, you're in the Top 25. The only teams with losses in this ballot are Oregon, ASU and Arkansas. Everyone else is out of luck.

We will fine tune this methodology moving forward, but teams that win games generally get ranked. I will take it to an extreme, but will always remain true to one thing: big victories will still count towards your placement on this list.

The Sun Devils break into the top 25 with a dominating performance against the USC Trojans, while Oklahoma State earns 4 spots by defeating Texas A&M on the road.
