Salsa, I agree that the coaches should not be allowed to vote but for a different reason. How many coaches follow every team out there? How can they vote for a team that they may not even be paying attention to. Do you really think that Tressel is paying attention to LSU right now since they are not on their schedule.
What a great year for College football!
It keeps it exiting week to week to see what top ranked school will fall next.
Ohio State next perhaps???

I still think Michigan will beat them.... they will be so ripe for the taking it is scary...
I'm just picking at you. I'm up here in Mason, so I know all about the Buckeyes and how good they are. In fact, Robiskie is the offspring of one of my all time favorite LSU players.
If LSU can finish things out - which I'm NOT at all optimistic about with Auburn and Arkansas coming to Baton Rouge, and Kentucky and Ole Miss on the road, and then the SECCG (if we get that far) - maybe they meet up with the Buckeyes in the big game. Would be fun!
I gotta admit though, it is nice to see what it feels like to be sitting on top of all the polls!

I don't know if Michigan can beat them, but I'm pretty sure that OSU is WAY over- ranked right now. They can't possibly be as good as last year, when they were also over-ranked.
Yes, coaches can vote for their own school. There are 60 coaches that vote in the USA Today poll. Looking at the points, LSU got 58 1st place votes and two 2nd place votes for a total of 1,498. That's 60 total votes from 60 coaches including Les Miles.
Haha! He could always just lie like Tressel did last year. ESPN - USA Today: Tressel did not vote Longhorns No. 1 - College Football
Or just not vote at all. Tressel Declines Vote in Coaches' Poll - washingtonpost.com
Well, michigan will have NOTHING to lose, just like previous top 5 Ohio State teams that a struggling michigan team ruined with a victory ....
I hope it doesn't happen, but I could definatly see it happening.
Long way to Ann Arbor (Nov)

Ok Paul,
It seems we are moving on up the rankings each week, but, if EVERYONE continues to lose, why is it our fault we are moving up,
Someone has to be up there ....
You've got BC and South Florida in the top ten for gosh sakes !
Jimbo
I didn't say anything about them being wrong. The second one I can understand. The first one not so much. Even if the SID did change the votes and didn't tell him, it still looks pretty bad to not know who you voted for.
Off spring ?
Is Terry Robiske there ?
I thought he was in Miami ?
Jimbo
The offspring I meant was Brian Robiskie. I believe that's Terry's son, right?
And you're right - Terry was canned by the Browns last year and is a wide receiver's coach for Miami.
You think the polls look crazy now - wait until the BCS starts putting their two cents in! With so much more football to play, who knows what things will look like in the end. There's a good chance not one major college program will be undefeated by the end of October - then what will things look like?
Gotta admit - it makes things interesting this year!

Heh - want to see a collective head explosion? Try this...
If the BCS were computed today, UConn would be #22.
I think I heard salsadancer's brain hit the monitor from here...
