Sorry for leaving Mike Richardson off of the poll, as he did have a helluva game last night.  The post/poll this morning were done in the glaze of sleep and hangover.  This quote is from the fantastic UCLA site BruinsNation in relating their loathed Karl Dorrell to Pete Carroll:

I think that also applies to Charlie Weis, who coaches the game like I play NCAA Football: if you even consider going for it on 4th down, just go for it.  Early on in the Michigan State game our team looked the same as they did against Michigan: lethargic, out-of-sync, listless.  But it took another huge second half deficit to Sparty and some big plays from Carlson and Samardjiza to rally the team to a victory.  Maybe Charlie doesn't make the right decisions all the time on 4th down, but at least he has a standard he goes by, which is significantly better than wishy-washing your way through the season.

SMQ also addresses our propensity for going for it in his post today:

I one hundred percent agree.  For us to succeed against quality teams, our execution needs to be high in all phases of the game, especially on 4th down plays where we can keep our offense on the field and protect/rest our defense.  I'm not sure if it's impossible for us to win games without 4th down conversions, but they certainly help the cause.

If you haven't seen the rollercoaster of emotion from commenters at BlueGraySky, check that out now.  HouseRockBuilt was at the game, as well as Kelly Green.  Notre Dame stays solid at number 12 in the polls, and the AP voters actually dropped UGA after a victory.  Granted, it was only one spot, but I'm still surprised.  I think Va Tech is mucho overrated at the 11-spot, but Saturday night against OMGZ Calvin Johnson will be a nice test.
