Michigan State takes 1st place this week in the battle of
inconsistencies.  For the first time in a while, everyone submitting
agrees on which teams belong in the top 5, and in this case, the top 8!!!
 
        By popular demand, I will be listing how many abllot appearances
each team had, instead of just mentioning if every team did or did not
make every ballot.  Overall, I would have to say that I'm impressed with
the respect that most people are treating this poll, and the unbiased
ballots cast.  Last comment I have today is that Miami (Ohio) appears to
be "well-fit" in the number 7 slot this week...  As you tab down, I think
you'll see what I mean...
