One Poll Has TCU 15th? It's True

TheBigLead.com, a personal favorite sports website of mine, recently released its poll for Week 4.
It has TCU 15th. Now before Frog fans look for a way to disable the site, take a look at the formula and thought process. It's a different way to look at a very, very flawed and highly debatable format.

Personally, I don't agree with it because it has LSU ranked No. 4 and USC No. 6, among the other head-scratchers. But this poll is no more flawed than a coaches poll that you know the participating members don't have time to adequately complete.
This is the Top 25, according to The Big Lead:

1. Alabama (9.5)
2. Ohio St. (8)
3. LSU (7.5)
4. Florida(7.5)
5. Utah (7.5)
6. Stanford (7)
7. Boise St. (6.5)
8. USC (6)
9. Oklahoma (5.5)
10. Michigan (5)*
11. Oklahoma St. (5)
12. Arizona (4.5)
13. Auburn (4.5)
14. Oregon (4.5)
15. TCU (4.5)
16. Nevada (4.5)
17. Nebraska (4.5)
18. North Carolina St. (4)
19. Michigan St. (4)
20. Northwestern (4)
21. Army (4)
22. Wisconsin (3.5)
23. Kentucky (3.5)**
24. Kansas St. (3)
25. Florida St. (3)

Is this a joke? Are we being punked?
Utah #5 (3-0)? Army #21? Kansas State #25? Why do you waste your time, good space on the internet and your reader's time on such crap? And the bigger question is why do I continue to read this crap?
I'm just a lonely Frog in a lake of Gators looking for anything TCU! if I wasn't such a huge Frog fan I would delete the Star from my favorites.

The reason Mac wastes print space on this, Florida Frog Fan, is because Mac never misses a chance to dump on the frogs. He just can't do it too openly because he works here in Fort Worth. God knows what his reasons are.

I don't see it as dumping. It's just another point of view, with Mac offering a window to another part of America and how they view the teams. I think Mac even says he doesn't agree with it. Can y'all read?

I read the linked article, and it's an interesting way to rank. Some good ideas in there. I obviously don't agree with TCU at #15, but I'd be curious to see this poll after a few more weeks to see how things shake up.
