Interesting items:

Rutgers' vote came from, surprise, Greg Schiano. ;)

Mack Brown voted USC #1, Texas #2.

Steve Spurrier voted Notre Dame #14. :D

[MrBug708]

Mack Brown running PR

[GrantDawg]

Richt voted West Virgina over Miami and LSU. Trying to improve the match-ups profile? :)

[vex]

That's pretty cool.

[dacman]

I think Frank Solich is still hung-over. Ohio State 8th, Oregon 11th, Auburn 13th, Georgia 15th, but LSU 5th?

[Ben E Lou]

Steve Spurrier voted Notre Dame #14. :DSometimes I truly heart that man.

The following coaches have their own team higher than any other voter (no ties):

Larry Coker
Greg Schiano
Steve Spurrier
Tommy Tuberville I think Houston Nutt ranked Auburn 3rd.

I'd love to see somebody study the coaches' rankings for bias -- for example, the correlation between coaches voting teams in their conference higher than non-conference teams or coaches in BCS conferences voting for for fellow BCS schools and vice versa with non-BCS schools.

Look at a team like Boise State -- aside from a I think two votes, all of their votes come from non-BCS coaches. I'm not saying that Boise State is a top 25 team this year, but there's certainly an argument that could be made that the coaches -- or more accuately somebody in the sports information department -- look out for their own to a certain degree.

[cthomer5000]

Everytime Rutgers has received the lone vote, I knew it had to be Schiano.

[Mr. Wednesday]

I've seen a couple of idiots (Ken Hatfield and Skip Holtz) voted Ohio State 10th.

[miami_fan]

I want to know how many of these coaches actually place there own vote and how many had somebody else place their vote for them.

[wbatl1]

Wow-nobody wanted to put their team real high but that #4 was the majic number...

[Mr. Wednesday]

I believe Weis said earlier this season that he takes care of his vote himself.

[JeffR]

Interesting, Spurrier has the Noles higher and the Gators lower than anybody in a group of him, the Bowdens, Mark Richt, and Bob Stoops.

[tarcone]

i noticed that the big 10 coaches ranked Iowa higher then non-big ten coaches and most if not all big 12 voters voted texas #1
interesting stuff

I have to thank USA Today for making my cross-country flight home from Los Angeles on Monday go by a lot faster than usual. No in-flight movie could possibly have provided as much amusement as the first-ever publication of the coaches' final Top 25 ballots.

Allow me to share a few of my favorite moments:

• Miami coach Larry Coker -- apparently every bit as delusional as the 'Canes' own fans -- voting his team No. 4.

• Ohio coach Frank Solich, who apparently got the score of Saturday's SEC title game backward (or was tipping the bottle again), placing LSU fifth and Georgia 15th.

• Oregon coach Mike Bellotti -- his team about to be squeezed out of the BCS by Notre Dame -- placing the Ducks fourth and the Irish ninth, while OSU's Jim Tressel, his own team battling Bellotti's for the Fiesta, had the Buckeyes fourth and Oregon ninth.

• Arkansas coach Houston Nutt ranking SEC rival Auburn third and Big East champion West Virginia ... nowhere.

• South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier burying Notre Dame at 14 and ranking his own team 21st -- higher than on any other ballot.

• A long list of coaches ranking their teams notably higher than they finished in the actual poll: Notre Dame's Charlie Weis (fourth), Auburn's Tommy Tuberville (fourth), Wisconsin's Barry Alvarez (16th), Clemson's Tommy Bowden (20th), Oklahoma's Bob Stoops (21st), South Carolina's Spurrier (21st) and Northwestern's Randy Walker (21st).

Ladies and gentlemen, as if you needed proof, the fortunes of the nation's college football teams -- not to mention tens of millions of dollars -- are being determined by the equivalent of a high school student-council election.

Every week, my inbox is clogged with people complaining about various media biases in the sport. While I would never suggest my profession is 100 percent ethically sound, I can't imagine too many writers have as obvious an agenda as a group of men who are employed by the subjects on which they're voting.

While my own "analysis" of the coaches' ballots was largely informal, a couple of guys with significantly more time on their hands, Jay Barry and Jeff Steck of the Notre Dame blog Blue-Gray Sky, actually ran the data to discern which biases could be detected. Among their findings:

• On average, coaches voted their own teams 1.7 spots higher than did the other 61 voters, and ranked other teams from their conference about one spot higher that they did teams from other conferences.

• Eight of the 13 coaches who voted Oregon seventh or lower came from the two conferences that had teams vying with the Ducks for a BCS at-large spot, SEC (Auburn) and Big Ten (Ohio State).

• Similarly, while half the poll's voters had Ohio State fourth, eight of 12 SEC and Pac-10 coaches had the Buckeyes lower, while the same percentage of that group had Notre Dame eighth or lower.

Meanwhile, in the Harris Poll, Notre Dame great Rocket Ismail made it clear which Fiesta Bowl matchup he wanted to see, ranking the Irish fourth, Ohio State fifth ... and Oregon 11th.

Let me make it clear that any college football poll is inherently subjective, that there's no such thing as a right or wrong ballot and that every voter is entitled to his opinion. But these kind of voting patterns aren't some sort of giant coincidence. The voters in the BCS' two polls exhibit blatant provincial favoritism. Perhaps Congress ought to hold some hearings on that.
