Bennett's Top 25

[me@smu]

WV is too high...Big East is a joke conference now that BC/Miami and Va Tech left.

Oregon deserved better and so did florida. UCLA 15 is a little high considering the 66 points they just had hung on them.

if the Big East is a joke conference, what is CUSA?????

Sorry how does the strength of CUSA have any baring on whether or not the Big East is a joke? The point was that when comparing the teams that high in the poll...noone else in the top twenty (excluding TCU) comes from as weak a conference as WV.

I have always heard that the coaches who vote in the poll usually delegate the voting to someone in the SID office. I don't know if that's true in Phil's case. But when you think about it, other than the teams they play against, do head coaches have time to evaluate the relative strength of teams across the country? I'd be suprised if the coaches actually do complete their own ballot, and if they do, I doubt they put much time into it.

Yup, college coaches are far too busy with their own problems to put
much thought into rankings. They just go by the magazine ratings, etc.,
and the subsequent records during the season. Well, maybe they also
nudge someone they beat like TCU further up a little.

Kinda destroys the CREDIBILIY of the BCS a little more

Tomorrow might be the start of something. Write your congressman
against the BCS cartel/monopoly.
