Total Ballots: 76 | Votes by team | Ballots by voter

Well look at that, I made a category again this week (I thought I had plenty of changes in my ballot, but I guess not).

Swing is the total change in each ballot from last week to this week (obviously voters who didn't submit a ballot last week are not included). A high number means you are easily distracted by shiny things. A low number means that you're damn sure you're right no matter what reality says.

#	Blog	Team	Ballot	Swing
1	Tom Fornelli	Notre Dame Fighting Irish	ballot	132
2	Frogs O' War	TCU Horned Frogs	ballot	124
3	Addicted to Quack	Oregon Ducks	ballot	122
4	Black Heart Gold Pants	Iowa Hawkeyes	ballot	116
5	Mountain West Connection	Utah Utes	ballot	116

Fornelli had West Virginia No. 4 and dropped it all the way to No. 24, the largest single delta for the 'Eers on the week. (And The Valley Shook! had them at No. 1 in Week 7, the lone voter to do so, but dropped them to No. 14 from there.) The shockwaves from that helped Fornelli take the top spot here.

#	Blog	Team	Ballot	Swing
1	The Daily Gopher	Minnesota Golden Gophers	ballot	50
2	Let's Go Rockets	Toledo Rockets	ballot	66
3	The Ralphie Report	Colorado Buffaloes	ballot	70
4	Eleven Warriors	Ohio St. Buckeyes	ballot	74
5	BC Interruption	Boston College Eagles	ballot	78

50 is a very small number for Swing that one only gets when one drops West Virginia only eight spots after a 49-14 loss. Congrats on that.
