Ya wanna smoke some Doyt with me?

Something to consider if you're voting in an online college football poll: The higher your team ranks, the closer it gets to the national microscope.

For example, when a player at Ohio State got in a bar fight earlier this month, it was front page newson ESPN.com.

However, when a recruit at a lower-profile school (like, say, Bowling Green) gets arrested for dealing drugs, it ends up only in a paper called the Brighton Press & Argus.

Also, the fact that the kid is a Bowling Green recruit gets mentioned in the 12th paragraph. If you're a top-10 team, that becomes the lead.

Look... we're all excited about Omar Jacobs, but consider this a warning: you're getting yourself into a whole 'nother level of scrutiny once you're in the top-15.

(Incidentally, I think the topic of Tony's recent post on over-rated college football teams deserves its own post here at some point. But that will have to wait...)
