This deep into the season it’s beginning to look as if the AP’s value system is beginning to affect our Voters. As of Voter #4, the highest ranked team to get a vote to lose is **Ohio St.**. Last week (as you may recall –[Week 8 CFB -- Which AP Top 25 team(s) will lose? - The Game Room - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=737113) ) every team in the Top 25 – that was playing that week – got at least one vote.

It’s too early to make much of that observation, but it may be fun to see which of the higher ranked teams will get that first vote.

We seem to have found our groove with 14-16 voters, although there have been 41 individuals who have participated at one time or another.

Just thought you might like to know such trivia.

There are still over three hours left before this poll closes.

There was an error in your sheet. zoog had USC picked to lose, not Utah. zoog should be 2/2 (the only one in positive numbers as a matter of fact).

Here’s what I have for the season standings:

**Chingon** ’s score wasn’t on that chart, so here’s what it should be. **Zakalwe** ’s table has the right number for **Chingon** this week.

Also, **basset hound** ’s score was not posted correctly, even though the total was right. The correction matches the voting now.

I really hate the negative point for incorrect guesses. Hate it.
