Re: Oct. 5 rankings: Coaches- #4, AP- #2, Harris-?

Thanks, Bamatilldeath.

I figured we'd drop at least 1 spot in the AP.

But who knows how good Kentucky will turn out to be.

 

[TerryP]

Color me a bit surprised that USC was jumped by Tx. Tech in the Harris Poll.

 

[bamatommy]

I can't believe that we didn't fall.

Maybe it's because Kentucky was undefeated and had the No 1 defense in the nation.

 

[bear facts]

I noticed that LSU received one #1 vote in the Coach's Poll.

I wonder who cast that vote, The Hat himself?

Here's the 2008 AFCA Football Bowl Subdivision Board of Coaches:

Frank Beamer, Virginia Tech; Mike Bellotti, Oregon; Bret Bielema, Wisconsin; Bobby Bowden, Florida State; Tommy Bowden, Clemson; Art Briles, Baylor; Mack Brown, Texas; Neil Callaway, Alabama-Birmingham; Gene Chizik, Iowa State; Mario Cristobal, Florida International; Sylvester Croom, Mississippi State; Mark Dantonio, Michigan State; Butch Davis, North Carolina; Todd Dodge, North Texas; Randy Edsall, Connecticut; Phillip Fulmer, Tennessee; Jeff Genyk, Eastern Michigan; Turner Gill, Buffalo; Joe Glenn, Wyoming; Todd Graham, Tulsa; Jim Grobe, Wake Forest; Dan Hawkins, Colorado; Pat Hill, Fresno State;

Butch Jones, Central Michigan; Steve Kragthorpe, Louisville; Mike Leach, Texas Tech; Jim Leavitt, South Florida; Rocky Long, New Mexico; Bill Lynch, Indiana; Doug Martin, Kent State; Urban Meyer, Florida; Les Miles, LSU; Shane Montgomery, Miami (Ohio); Hal Mumme, New Mexico State; Rick Neuheisel, UCLA; Tom O'Brien, North Carolina State; George O'Leary, Central Florida; Gary Patterson, TCU; Bo Pelini, Nebraska; Chris Petersen, Boise State; Gary Pinkel, Missouri;

Mike Price, Texas-El Paso; Mark Richt, Georgia; Mike Riley, Oregon State; Rich Rodriguez, Michigan; Greg Schiano, Rutgers; Howard Schnellenberger, Florida Atlantic; Mark Snyder, Marshall; Frank Solich, Ohio; Steve Spurrier, South Carolina; Rick Stockstill, Middle Tennessee; Jeff Tedford, California; Joe Tiller, Purdue; Bob Toledo, Tulane; Dick Tomey, San Jose State; Jim Tressel, Ohio State; Tommy Tuberville, Auburn; Charlie Weis, Notre Dame; Kyle Whittingham, Utah; Tyrone Willingham, Washington; Ron Zook, Illinois.

 

[TerryP]

He's got the right. Tressel was voting OSU #1 a few years ago when the OSU vs Michigan debate was on everyone's mind IIRC.

I honestly thought we would get jumped at least by Mizzou in the AP!

Yep, I know. I just like to get my ribbing in on Les(s) every chance I can.

Gary Pinkel also has a case for voting his team, too, but he didn't. Plus, I do not even know if Miles did actually vote for his team--just assuming so. Heck, it could have been Sly or Tubby for all we know.

Btw, why isn't America's most powerful college coach not on this board? Or did I overlook his name? :?

I'd almost bet, if asked, he would turn down the opportunity. "...got better things to do" than worry about a poll.
