Here's my AP poll ballot

I have the honor of being a voter in the Associated Press Top 25 this season. Each week Iāll be giving you my ballot for you to criticize. That will happen on Sunday because thatās when the poll is usually released.
Itās Tuesday this week because of last nightās FSU-Miami game.
A few things you should know:
I have no problem moving a team significantly, even if they win. Thatāll usually happen after the top 10 because I think thereās a clear separation between the top 10 and everyone else.
Injuries will affect my vote, because losing key players changes teams. I flirted with putting Oklahoma out of the top 15 for a while because the Sooners are clearly not a great team without Sam Bradford. However, they are pretty darn good so I kept them in the top 10, for now.
Hereās my Week 1 ballot
1. Florida
2. Texas
3. Southern California
4. LSU
5. Oklahoma State
6. Alabama
7. Boise State
8. Penn State
9. Oklahoma
10. Ohio State
11. Ole Miss
12. California
13. Virginia Tech
14. BYU
15. TCU
16. Georgia Tech
17. North Carolina
18. Utah
19. West Virginia
20. Oregon
21. Nebraska
22. Georgia
23. Florida State
24. Texas Tech
25. Notre Dame
