i have to admit i dont follow college football as much as i did 20 years ago

with work and family life is more hectic, and there are just sooooo many college teams

and personally i dont care much for the BCS, i want playoffs

but on to the point of this thread, the ranking (polls) system

seems to me a coach would always vote his team # 1 , i mean i think i would

and wouldnt you always vote your weekly opponent # 2 ?

wouldnt do your team much good if your opponent was ranked #83

and im not even sure how much it matters anyway, ive heard rumblings that Ohio State and Texas may not have actually been voted in at 1 and 2.......but somehow the pollsters worked it out to assure that matchup

personally, i hope we have a huge log-jam this year at the top of the polls, maybe about 10 teams with the same record, and no true clear 1 and 2

but again, dont you always vote your team as # 1 ?

i know i will be bashed for poor ethics in this matter, but hey, makes for good discussion
