You know, the problem with Poppy is to get those 2 or 3 kills. She gets denied by a lot of top laners, she can't farm without being constantly harassed and so you won't be able to buy those much needed big items in most of the games. Poppy isn't much viable right now, her late game dominance can be negated too easily in the first 15 to 20 minutes of a game.

Kog'Maw is a rather weak carry, that's all. He can be useful with a team that can peel for him, or else he'd get melted by bruisers with gap closers, which are quite common right now. For example, i had a game with a friend of mine playing Kog'Maw and i was playing Janna, we did quite well, but honestly the opponents' carry was terrible. Kog may have some nice damage and range but when thigs get close and personal he simply has 0 escapes besides Flash.
