BLACKSBURG, Va. -- As Americans scrambled to make sense of the life of Army psychiatrist Nidal M. Hasan, who allegedly killed 13 people and injured 38 more at Fort Hood, Tex., last week, one fact stood out for those living here: Hasan graduated from Virginia Tech in 1995.

Here are the raw computer rankings for week 10. This is, as always, a draft for the RTT BlogPoll Ballot. Explanations and the full computer data follow after the jump. Human intervention will be applied based solely on feedback. I have my thoughts, but I'm hesitant to apply any changes without verification. This late in the season, it's pretty well certain I won't change a number without support. Rank...

OK, here is this weeks poll. I am not sure about Navy...I will admit that is more a sentimental vote. Should Stanford make the poll? Oregon St. breaks into this weeks poll, as does Wisconsin. SC is lucky to stay at 12 I was considering moving them down but then I would have to move tOSU down and I think they are playing some great football right now. Going into Happy Valley and getting the win is impressive...

For the first time in a long time, I have Florida-Texas as 1-2 in my BlogPoll ballot. Even with Florida's struggles offensively, the defense is the best in college football in a decade. I still love TCU. I still love Cincy -- although giving up 40+ to UConn doesn't say much about Cincy's D. Alabama has the opposite problem: Bama's offense makes Florida's look prolific. And we can all now stop worrying...

If you love defense, you had to love tonight's Nebraska-Oklahoma game. Some might point to the 10-3 final and announce boring, mediocre, or just plain bad. But from the south end zone perspective, it was one hell of a night of football as two great defenses took the field tonight. Matt O'Hanlon took a step tonight to putting the end of the Virginia Tech game behind him tonight with an outstanding performance....

It is official...Boise State's a legitimate power. No, screw this whole "Boise State's the Gonzaga of the BCS" shit. We're past that. Oh wait, I need to rewind a smidge. Why am I writing all of this about a team that even if it runs the table ala OU last year, they won't get a BCS Title game appearance or even (feasibly) a BCS Bowl game in spite of winning every time it has gotten the call?...
