    They really need to remove anyone who voted Alabama above OKST. Especially those who put OKST 4th to try to score points for Alabama.

    Love Chris Pederson's quote about this lol

    I can't find it though..about how he voted to help his own team, so how is that still the system they use?

    Art Briles apparently hates the B1G too. #11 Michigan, #16 Wisconsin (low rater), #21 MSU (low rater), #22 Nebraska (low rater). No Penn State, instead, ranked Arkansas State.

    He voted BSU 5th and TCU 18th. I don't have the link or exact quote but that is what he voted haha. I also loved it when I heard it.

    Everyone hates the B1G.

    The fact that Saban, Peterson, and Gundy were all interested parties and were still able to vote, tells you everything you need to know about the system. Look at some of those rankings, it's obvious that some were "gaming" the system.

    Gundy didn't have a vote.

    SO, Saban got to vote for his team, but Gundy doesn't even have a vote? System is more fucked up than I thought.

    He is exactly right "why are we even voting if #6,7,8 and #9 are left out of the 10 spots"

    Yeah, but they voted before that was announced.

    Okay, my bad. Forgot Texas A&M was on the move; that's the job he was looking toward.

    For whatever reason, he just isn't one of the voters for the Coach's Poll.

    I thought the coaches voting in the coaches poll changed from week to week.

    No, they are set at the beginning of the season.
