Lucky for us, Coaches Poll voting is still public until 2010. Thanks to that, we can see what morons decided to vote Texas, a 12-10 loser* in the Big 12 championship, number one.
As you might guess, one result might surprise you.
Fifty-four coaches got it right and voted Alabama number one (Brian Kelly voted his Bearcats #1, he gets a pass). Four coaches either didn't watch a lot of other teams besides their own, or just didn't give a shit. I'll let you decide which ones are which.
To wit, TaW presents the Texas voters:
- Rob Akey, Idaho
- Tim Brewster, Minnesota
- Mark Dantonio, Michigan State
- Bo Pelini, Nebraska
Wait, what?? Pelini? Well, it certainly goes against Bo's feelings immediately after the game.
"If I may have a moment of your time, good sir ... "
What's really funny (funny "hmm," not funny "haha") is that I thought there was a Stoops coaching cabal (or "sewing circle" ... look it up, they don't need traffic from me) that said anybody in the Stoops coaching tree would do whatever they could to benefit Stoops. This is one of the bullshit canards UT fans pissed their pants about in 2008 when they insisted they were getting screwed by a technicality in the system (only now they want to enforce the technicalities of the rules because it benefits them, which would be fine with me ... let's go put back time on the clock from every OTHER pass that went out of bounds during the game).
Fuck it.
