I'll agree on the 1st place vote for Mizzou
It was the writer from the San Jose Mercury News, who ranked Mizzou and Alabama at 1-2.
Looks like he just went with a straight resume approach, ranking wins by the quality of the opponent.
I think Mizzou is a Top 5 team, but they looked far from the nation’s No. 1 on Saturday.

Chance McDanielson for Heisman
I agree!
I would put the Tigers ahead of Florida but at this point that is about as far up as I could put them.
Yes but
that same pollster, Jon Wilner, also ranked Penn St at number 9.
Missouri 1
Alabama 2
Florida 3
Southern Cal 4
Ohio St. 5
Oklahoma 6
Georgia 7
Texas Tech 8
Penn St. 9
West Virginia 10
BYU 11
South Florida 12
Wisconsin 13
Auburn 14
California 15
LSU 16
Oregon 17
Utah 18
East Carolina 19
UCLA 20
Fresno St. 21
Wake Forest 22
Texas 23
Arizona St. 24
South Carolina 25
That is his entire ballot and to say that Penn St. was so much more impressive than Fresno traveling across the country to win at Rutgers is a little insane. This guy is a notoriously bad pollster.
Why does he think that
that Missouri is better than USC, Ohio St., OU, etc. He has LSU at 16 (five spots below BYU). This guys polling card should be revoked if he’s not going to take it seriously.
You know I am a big sooner fan. I don’t care what the ranking say i aggree with most people this is one of the most talented Oklahoma teams I have ever seen. Not only do I think we will go undefeated I believe we will win the national championship. I look forward to a great season.
sincerely, a big sooner fan
