Coaches poll is a joke!!

[rold50]

No. That's how the media moves SEC teams.

[starboy]

so then who gets in? conference champions? but then what about Alabama and Oklahoma?

do the conference champs of non-BCS conferences get in? so you would have to go all the way to a field of 16? then which of the BCS conferences get 2 teams? and then why have a Conference championship game?

do elaborate...

I think -

Everyone conference should choose it's own champion however it wants. Playoff, round robin, whatever. The teams that win their own conference get into the tournament. Then you give Automatic Byes to the biggest conferences that already have BCS auto-Bids. Or the 4 best conferences with the best OOC record. Or keep AP rankings and decide the best 4 ranked teams etc...Let's assume ACC, Big XII, SEC, and PAC 10 have the best OOC championship for the year. You're left with the following:

Round 1:
gm1 - Big 10 vs WAC
gm2 - Big East vs C-USA
gm3 - Sun Belt vs Mac
gm4 - Independent vs MWC

Round 2:
gm5 - gm1 winner vs ACC*
gm6 - gm2 winner vs Big XII*
gm7 - gm3 winner vs Sec*
gm8 - gm4 winner vs PAC 10*

Round 3:
gm9 - gm5 winner vs gm6 winner
gm10 - gm7 winer vs gm8 winner

Final:
gm11 - gm9 winner vs gm10 winner.

If you don't win your conference, you can't complain, PERIOD.
The above schedule would take 4 weeeks. Start in Dec. end early January.

Since you're trying to win a conference le, the regular season is still important, and a loss is a loss regardless if in august or november. *ahem*
And you can still keep the other bowl games to get some interesting match-ups.

Just an idea.

I think that Boise State should be left off the polls simply because they are from Idaho. Every year they should have an automatic bid to the Potato Bowl. Problem solved.

[MajorMike]

mmmmm, taters.

[vander]

i've read your takes

And I've destroyed your perception of reality, you must now yell the lie louder than ever in order to continue believing it

[MajorMike]

Maybe its that area of the country that just grows blabbering idiots; see ttlong. They got too close to Canada, or something.

[MajorMike]

And by the way... wtf is toast ing?

[vander]

you don't know about outside of bareback toast ing

see? loud and rabid, just as I said, like a scared little lapdog barking as loud as he can

[chode_regulator]

Penn State over Iowa!?!
Cal over Oregon!?!
Oregon at #25!?! (who else has played 3 ranked teams and no cupcakes?)

the BCS can't be using this crap, they've got to switch to the AP poll

Miami...

why did usc jump OU, your right this is a joke

probably because bradford is hurt...and gresham

[vander]

LOL Coaches Poll

Switching BSU and USC when neither team played

[DMX7]

LOL Coaches Poll

Switching BSU and USC when neither team played

maybe they just came to their senses.

[vander]

maybe they just came to their senses.

even then, why'd it take the extra week, how do these coaches come to two different conclusions with the same information, if anything, Oregon looked much better than Ohio St this week.

Coaches poll

What a ing joke

[mookie2001]

the real rankings should be

1.florida
2. alabama
3. usc
4. oklahoma
5. ohio state

[vander]

the real rankings should be

1.florida
2. alabama
3. usc
4. oklahoma
5. ohio state

@ ohio state

they'd go 8-4 in the pac-10, SEC, or Big 12

[Girasuck]

@ ohio state

they'd go 8-4 in the pac-10, SEC, or Big 12

I agree. , Ohio State would lose 2 games in the MWC.

[The Reckoning]

@ ohio state

they'd go 8-4 in the pac-10, SEC, or Big 12

i think you missed something there...

[rjv]

right now-i'd have to say bama has been the most impressive team from week to week. that defense is a monster.

[MajorMike]

Unfortunately Boise or Utah prolly couldn't go 8-4 in the B10, and certainly not the SEC or B12.

[vander]

Unfortunately Boise or Utah prolly couldn't go 8-4 in the B10, and certainly not the SEC or B12.

in the Big ten? BSU would lose 3 games a year tops
SEC and Big 12 yeah, would be around 8-4, I'd say BSU would fair as well or better than any B12 north team.
