And Stoops would if his team won (if he had a vote) and so would Carroll, Leach and most of the rest of the coaches. Why does this shock people?
Mack Brown: Great coach, lousy voter
Unlike those Texas cheerleaders, Mack Brown wasn't holding his hand over his heart last night when he took a vow to cast a maverick vote. But Texas' coach still made it clear his choice for No. 1 won't hinge on the Florida-Oklahoma outcome in the BCS le game.
Brown said he'll be voting for his Texas team in the USA TODAY coaches poll.
"I wasn't sure before, but Friday morning I'm going to vote Texas No. 1 because I think this is the best team in the country," Brown said after Texas squeaked past Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl.
We'll let others debate the big-picture value of a last-minute victory against the Buckeyes, but here's the thing: If Mack is willing to go against the grain and vote his Longhorns No. 1 now, why didn't he do it when it could have helped his team?
As the Fort Worth Star-Telegram notes, Brown voted Florida No. 1 in the final regular-season poll, and that helped the Gators get to No. 2 in the BCS standings. If Brown truly feels he has America's best team, he should have voted that way back when they still could have gone to the BCS championship game.
Brown's vote also would be contrary to the agreement the American Football Coaches Association has with voters in the poll. As AFCA executive director Grant Teaff reminded on Sunday: "This poll is not, since 1998, to select the national champion. The winner of the (BCS championship) game is the winner of the (BCS) trophy. Which means the coaches do not vote for No. 1, they vote for No. 2 down."
Also, Brown should know his vote is due Thursday night, right after the game, not Friday morning.
USAtoday.

Non story.
just lebomb being the usual dumbass he is
no suprizes here
Maybe lebomb wants Mack to vote for UTSA.
i don't necessarily think thats true, but it doesn't matter. i liked when Mack said they beat a full strength ohio state team unlike USC, lol. like it would have mattered. SC would have crushed that team regardless. not to mention, they just crushed the team that beat ohio state in columbus.
Carroll said he thought they were the best in the Country after the Rose Bowl but again, nothing wrong with that.
i bet you wont see him vote for SC in the coaches poll, and he has as good a reason as mack does.
Nice try my friend.
Carroll doesn't have a vote. Well played.
STFU...................I just showed what was printed. I didnt write the article. I dont give two s either way.......but, obviously some think he is re ed for wanting to vote UT #1 after that debacle of a game. Anyone can see that is stupid.
It's called having fun, telling the fans what they want to hear, and giving your young team extra confidence going into the next season. Any good coach would do that.
Did you read the entire article? He didnt even vote his team #1 before his bowl game........he voted Florida. What a dumbass to try and vote UT #1 now.......especially after escaping OSU by the hair on their nutt sack.
Speaking of nutt sacks............Im still trying to figure out if you are a girl or got.
Big ing deal.... Kyle Whittingham and Pete Carroll probably didn't vote Utah and SC in as a first place teams last time, don't think they are not gonna nowDid you read the entire article? He didnt even vote his team #1 before his bowl game........he voted Florida. What a dumbass to try and vote UT #1 now.......especially after escaping OSU by the hair on their nutt sack.
