Individual Voters - Coaches & Harris

**SvrWxCy** · 12-04-2011, 08:59 PM

Tomorrow both the Harris Poll & Coaches Poll will release each individual voter's ballot, we will be able to see where Alabama and Oklahoma State vote came from and who may have tried to pull a fast one. I think we'll see a couple votes that came in low for Oklahoma State and I also firmly believe that we'll see a few votes that put Alabama way down in an attempt to avoid the rematch.

I'll post them tomorrow when I see them, or someone else I'm sure will post them when they become available.

Thoughts on which coach submitted the worst ballot?

This should be funny.

**Jarrods79** · 12-04-2011, 09:04 PM

I'll be very interested to see the results. Looking forward to it.

If the SEC had been screwed, there would be some voters in need of upgrading their security system.

I wonder if any coaches kept Stanford ahead of Okie State.

The USA Today has released the Coaches Poll individual votes: Graphic: How coaches voted in USA TODAY poll â€“ USATODAY.com

Notes of interest:

Alabama had only #2 and #3 votes, in fact 42 of 59 were #2 votes.

Oklahoma State had the other 17 #2 votes, but then also had a mix of #4 and even a #5 vote; who did such a thing:

#4 votes: Cutcliffe (Duke), Marrone (Syracuse), Pinkel (Missouri), Saban (Alabama), and Shaw (Stanford) - They all had Stanford at #3

The lone #5 vote was from Calhoun (Air Force) - He had LSU, 'Bama, Stanford then Arkansas...

Why would Saban do that to a real conference champion?

I think he drank more than a shot before submitting that ballot.

Other interesting votes:

Bailiff (Rice) had Texas #25 (only coach to have them ranked)
Peterson (Boise State) gave the lone #25 vote to Rutgers

How about Kansas State, what did voters really think of them?

Briles (Baylor) had them at #6, highest of any coaches
Rhoads had them at #7
Franklin (Vandy) had them at #15; Porter (Memphis) gave them #16 & Miles (LSU) had them a #17

These examples just confirm to me that we are in dire need of a playoff system. How the hell can a component of the BCS be a coaches vote?......there is no way that is going to be fair. K State at 17th??? Are you freaking kidding? I lost all respect for Miles when I saw that. Just horrible. We need to be able to settle this on the field. Freaking ridiculous.
