SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Rankings 2011

Breakdown after the jump

Our ballot didn't win any specific awards for standing out from the crowd this week. The big standout would be Alabama, who has impressively consolidated nearly first place vote after only playing three games. The lone Stanford vote goes to our favorite Iowa blog, Black Heart Gold Pants, which uses a strict resume-based voting system.

While us Buckeye fans may chafe a little at dropping even after OSU defeated a Pac-12 team, it's hard to be mad at schools like Florida and Notre Dame making a big jump after quality wins over the weekend.

At 15, OSU remains the highest ranked Big Ten team. The league is well represented near the bottom, with Michigan at 21, Michigan State at 22, and Northwestern at 23. The Wildcats aren't ranked in the AP poll, but they've beaten three BCS league teams, and have the schedule to go at least 6-0. Nebraska is top team looking in, and fellow state school Ohio clocks in at 25.

What do you think? Who is too high or too low?
