Yes, we know it's already Tuesday, but it feels like Monday, doesn't it? Kind of like how the '00s make the '80s feel like the '70s did back in the '90s. Wait, what? Never mind.
Here's our poll for this week:

If you don't like it, let us know. I don't really care that much, but if you make a salient point, it will go into the hopper and we'll see what comes out. Oregon, Illinois and Rutgers all lost their spots in our poll -- Illinois for their inept showing, Rutgers for making me look a fool, and Oregon for just being all-talk chumps. They'll have their chance to get back in.
And yes, I included Notre Dame in the poll, lest we be accused of completely unfair homerism or haterism or whatever. Yes, they steamrolled Nevada over the weekend. But let's also remember that they feel they should always be steamrolling the Nevadas of the world, yet in recent years that's been far from the case.
