Pac-10 Super Power Rankings: Now With More Superiosity

We're going to try something new with the Pac-10 Super Power Rankings. Instead of just using our Crimson-colored glasses here at CougCenter, how about making a poll where every blog in the Pac-10 has a voice?
That's what we're trying for in week two. Our goal is to have all ten conference teams represented, or at least the eight schools represented with SBN blogs. Each blog ranks the teams 1-10, sends them to us, and we compile the points and come out with a comprehensive power poll.
The comments are still ours, but you can see each blog's individual vote after the jump.
Tip of the hat to The Helmet Project for the helmets you see here.

And the UW blog puts themselves at
seven? Talk about wishful thinking . . .

The way I looked at UW was this
How much to value the near victory, since UW probably did enough to win the game?
The first thing I established for myself was that I wouldn’t have felt any different had they won. This is a team that beat Boise State in similar circumstances last year, getting a tremendous boost from its first home contest. This team might have been especially inspired given the status of its coach. Plus, BYU has a pretty extensive recent history of playing poorly away from home, and I’m not convinced BYU is really a top 15 team.
Clearly, the UW blog ranked its team based off of Saturday’s near victory, and thinks BYU is pretty good. It’ll shake out as we go on.

I think we’ll see a little homerism from everyone in these polls, and it’ll all even out if all eight blogs participate. It’s nice to see everyone’s individual polls though.

No homerism here!
Even we can’t justify moving the Cougs out of the last spot. Hopefully they’ll give us a reason to tonight.

At the risk of actually contributing something...
You could have the polls not rank their own teams. Which would show where the rest of the conference thinks people fit.
It’s times like this I wish they’d never discovered CougCenterium.

We could do that
But I’m tempted to think that it’ll balance itself out. And, after all, it’s not like our poll actually means anything — as much as we will try to convince ourselves that it does …

Did you just call your own poll meaningless?

Uh, I believe I did
Would you care to convince me that it matters? I’m all ears for arguments that I might be able to use down the line … :-)

Your poll is kind of like the opinion of a cow.

Although I did go to WSU
I’m not familiar with the opinions of cows. Enlighten me.

They’re moo, they don’t matter.

Aha!
Did I also mention watching this “football team” has numbed my ability to think?

Don'w worry about Maharg
He’s just trying to spread his worthlessness around like some cheap wintertime influenza.
Go Bears!

Those wacky kids over at ASU are plenty peeved that only they have their lil’ devils at 2. They think you all hate them and want to steal their milk money.
Go Bears!

Sorry we couldn’t get our shit together in time to send you one this week. Half our team is flying out to Maryland and/or in Maryland. We’ll definitely have something for you next week. Can you just send out a reminder early in the week, so we dont forget? Thanks!
I'm no The Maharg! But I try. Oh, how I try!

I demand new leadership.

I have a theory...
TwistNHook and Maharg are the same person.
Like Abbot and Costello, only if it was one guy named Mr. Abbot Costello.
Glad to see CougCenter take the charge in this! Who said you can have too many polls?
Go Duckies!

The only thing that TwistNHook and I have in common is an intense drive for worthlessness.

That and our pasty white skin. It’s so blinding!

I can’t see, I don’t know how pasty either of us are.

That’s convenient, there’s no sale going on.

We're in for next week as well...
with only one game under their belt it would not have been a fair representation of either USC or ucla. Obviously this weekend will show us a more complete picture.
Agree in principal on your take re: USC v. tOSU…I DO NOT see SC covering the spread. tOSU is a good team and there is waaaaaaaay too much hype that SC is going to romp…you know that Stanford thing.
Thanks for setting this up, we look forward to getting the game next week!

Don't worry
I still think USC wins handily over the Buckos
