They’re Nothing But A Bunch of Pansies!

There’s simply no spinning this.
The final regular-season ballots in the USA TODAY Coaches’ Poll will no longer be made public beginning with the 2010 football season, according to a person with knowledge of the information who didn’t want to be identified because he wasn’t authorized to comment before an announcement today from the American Football Coaches Association.
Make no mistake about it, this was all done in order for the coaches to be as self-serving as possible. Coaches will vote for themselves first, those in their conferences second, and against anyone who might hurt their interest in any way somewhere in between.
This poll, one third of the BCS championship formula, will be made into a mockery even moreso than it already had been. It should come as no surprise that the group that made this decision is lead, by example, by one Tyrone Willingham.

Weak. “Expletive deleted” weak.
I can only see this being absolutely terrible for Notre Dame, much like Pete Carroll’s decision to have no Instant Replay at the 2005 ND-USC game. If we have a great season this year, this is going to come back and bite us in the butt.
I hate this garbage. The BCS just went from bad to a joke. How can this be okay? Complete joke.
This is really just about PR. I don’t think the coach’s will vote significantly differently than they do now, it’s just that without the evidence, people will stop complaining about the inherent (and substantial) conflict of interest.
The real solution is to toss the coach’s poll out of the BCS.
Mr. Wednesday, I will NOT stop complaining, I promise. Heh.
Well, the small silver lining is this won’t hurt us THIS season. It starts in 2010, right?
