Well, his five-loss Falcons did play them to within a single score. Maybe he sees something that we don't.

It's all the more important that the TCU-BSU game is successful (no empty seats and decent ratings) to show the college football world that a nonBCS team can carry a big game
That's pretty sad that butts in the seat do determine a national championship.
That's true.

You have to question the sanity of anyone that puts
#1 Alabama
#2 Florida

Did he not seen the game or at least the score?

Non-AQ teams should vote as a block. I'll say it again, there should have been 25 first place votes distributed between TCU and Boise St by non-AQ coaches. That's where the real change in the BCS will come.


BYU PER W/L Since 1972: 432-76 (.850)
(8.4x
YDS)+(330xTD)+(100xCOM)-(200xINT)

If they're going to manipulate the polls, why be so timid about it. Everyone knows that Clemson has no business at #25. Why not just be bold and put them in the top 10? That's going to help you out more than 25. Why take the thing seriously when everyone knows its a joke anyways? Sure you will probably lose your vote next time its your turn, but is a coached poll vote really that important?
