It almost seems silly to even have polls at ESPN, because for the most part they show their regional bias. That really don't tell me squat.



I picked #3, "not a great game". It wasn't that it was not good, but there would be few 9-6 games that I would ever call great because defensive slugfests just personally don't interest me. Yea, if the BYU/Utah game that Utah won 3-0 would have ended in BYU's win (if they had won 3-0), I would have been much happier just because of who the win was over, but I would be very, very hard pressed to ever watch the game again.
