HOW DO THE POLLS SHAPE UP?
Does The Ville move up to #5 in the BCS poll?
Does WVU fall to #15 or 16?
Does Rutgers move up at all?
USF will surely receive some votes now, quite a few I bet.

Louisville probably jumps to 5th or 6th with West Virginia, Arkansas and Notre Dame all losing. Then again, Notre Dame will probably get special treatment so that they can slip into the BCS. West Virginia should stay in the Top 15, Rutgers probably jumps to 12th or 13th. USF receives some votes, and Cincinnati MIGHT receive a vote. I would hope that a Big East coach would reward UC for playing the nations toughest schedule and having a winning record in the conference, and finishing with 7 wins, by giving us at least 1 Top 25 vote. It would be a nice reward to a great season for Cincinnati, and would make the conference look good.

It played out about as I figured. I guess I understand LSU's win over Arkansas overcoming our win against Pitt.

Block Voting To Prevent Louisville From Rising
I can find fault with jumping LSU up so many spots while barely giving Louisville any credit for continuing to win. LSU certainly deserves to be in the Top 10 but they should not have rose so many spots based on this one win.

This is a perfect example of block voting designed to prevent Louisville from rising to #4 if Arkansas beats Florida for the SEC title. An 11-1 Louisville, if Rutgers beats West Virginia, would have a legit argument for an at-large.

You know very well the Old Boys do not want that. They moved LSU and Wisconsin up a bunch of spots to prevent it. All of them are afraid Notre Dame, as usual, and Louisville, by ranking, would get the last two at-large bids.
