    I agree with you, but who are you talking about?

    The coaches are OBLIGATED to vote the team that wins the Sugar Bowl as their #1. In fact, from what I've been told, the final poll ballot will have the #1 already on it...the coaches (or ADs or coaches' secretaries) will only fill out #2 and lower.

    It's a 100% impossibility for the winner of the Sugar Bowl to not get the #1 in the Coaches' Poll.

    Coaches C-A-N-N-O-T vote the rest of the way. They are done.

    It's written in stone---the winner of the BCS title game is number 1 in the coaches poll.

    Period.

    Coaches don't even get a choice on voting for #1.

    The winner is automatically #1 in the coaches poll.

    They do get to vote on #2 through #25.

    your exactly right....

    Brad Edwards addressed this the other day....he said that some coaches are talking about not voting for the Sugar Bowl champ #1....he then said, the coaches don't have to vote the Sugar Bowl champ as #1...IT WILL BE DONE FOR THEM!!!!!

    USC by 17 ... if you bet and lose your arse ... don't say I didn't warn you. :shock:

    LSU wins, we're #1 in the AP ... Split Championship = Moot Point

    Correct yourself ... LSU wins over OK ... and despite Carroll's bleating and whining ... LSU will overcome the 15 points ... and be AP #1

    We'd have to be extremely convincing in that win and hope USC wins by a narrow margin...the whining in the media is growing into a whirlwind and they won't be voting for anyone besides USC for #1 unless USC loses.

    The funny thing about all this is that if USC and LSU were playing and Stoops was complaining, Carroll would be saying, "we have a system and it works."
