Why is it a rule that USC and OU can't be moved down because they haven't lost, but Cal can be moved down in favor of Texas even though Cal won? Answer: Texas received six third-place votes and one second place vote! No reasonable person could even remotely consider Texas to be the #2 team in the country The Big 12 is looking out for it's own financial interests at the expense of others. Block-voting by coaches in the Big 12 insured Texas a BCS spot, a difference of more than $14 Million, of which a portion is split within the Big 12. Is it any surprise that BCS chairman is also the Commisioner of the Big12? Big 12 coaches dishonor the game by showing a lack of integrity. It's one of the key reasons I've never been able to develop a love for professional football in the same way I have for CFB.
I have to agree with cadillacattack. Texas is in no way should be voted in the top three. Now with that being said did Cal recieve any top three votes
Proof that Texas' high votes didn't get Texas into the Rose Bowl That link is the proof that the Rose Bowl was not "stolen" from Cal by voter bias.
I didn't read any such "proof." But assuming the poster is correct, using the same logic/formula, then Auburn would be in the Orange :yelwink2:
How did you not see proof? The guy removed all of Texas' #2 and #3 votes and changed Cal's #7 and #8 votes and moved them to 4th place votes. After all of that, Texas still ended up ahead of Cal by a pretty good margin. Also, according to this article, it seems that Bob Stoops was rating Texas either #2 or #3. And Mack Brown apparently did not give the 2nd place vote.
Here's a solution, if you're ranked in the top 25, you don't vote. I know there's still going to be both "friendly" and "family" biased votes, but it cuts outs the top teams voting in a manner that only benefits themselves.
