    I like it, it gives him more motivation and I do believe he pays mind to things such as this. I get the feeling that he is out to prove something each and every time he takes the field with his team.

    Couple things: I'm glad to see Miles ahead of Saban (which I didn't expect) Also, Miles has got the third most first place votes, almost doubling Saban's total.

    This is how I ordered them:

    1. Les Miles
    2.Steve Spurrier
    3.Urban Meyer
    4.Mark Richt
    5.Tommy Tuberville
    6.Nick Saban
    7.Phillip Fulmer
    8.Houston Nutt
    9.Bobby Petrino
    10.Sylvester Croom
    11.Bobby Johnson
    12.Rich Brooks

    I think Suppier is getting to much respect. He has done much since leaving Florida.

    It's too subjective for absolute rankings, but this much is obvious: They fall out into three tiers and there are no bad coaches at all.

    Top Tier -- National Championships

    Miles 07, Meyer 06, Saban 03, Fulmer 98, Spurrier 96​

    Middle Tier -- Conference titles
    Richt 05/02, Tuberville 04, Petrino 06/04 (non SEC)​

    Lower tier -- Working hard at it
    Nutt (2 WD titles), Croom, Johnson, Brooks​

    How you guys can put Meyer so low is beyond me.
