Of course I read the argument. I feel your pain. Why can't you not see how UF's stock went up after defeating another Top ranked team. Pretty one-sided & blind for someone who aspires to be in the biz, but I've been around here long enough to know that's pretty much you m.o.

It would seem that one sided is the way to go. Hirbstreit sees it the exact same why I do...

Conflict of interest.

 

BTW: I bet the UM fans are actually glad that UF got the nod. Pretty painful to get be twice in one season by the Bucks. :ylsuper:

That's a bunch of B.S. If it was a conflict of interest then, why wasn't it every OTHER week of the college football season? What happens if 10 coaches or 20 coaches decide that its a "conflict of interest"? Took the easy way out IMO, but shouldn't expect anything less though from O$U.

This isn't a Supreme Court vote. It's part of his job to participate in the system. I hope they revoke his vote next year...

 

Believe it or not, conflict of interest goes beyond the Supreme Court.

And most of the rest see it as I do, so move on. You're crying worse than most UK fans after a defeat to UL.:laugh:

Funny how this is the only vote with a name attached. Why did they add that again???

The rankings didn't meat squat until this vote. If that's not the case, please explain.

Amazing how this one-sided argument is the cover story of ESPN. Amazing how the same thoughts conveyed by GT and myself are repeated by NUMEROUS ESPN people, so far I've got Pat Forde, Herbstreit, Wojo, and Maisel. It's not an opinion, so it can't be one sided, its FACT. People just want answers, but they're aren't any.

Really? So why have them at all then? Preseason rankings don't have an effect on where teams finish up? Tell Boise St. that. Every week they mean something. And you still didn't answer my question as to what happens when a large number of people conveniently decide to "abstain" from the vote?

I have a press conference to cover, so I'm done with this...

Keep your crying...It won't change a thing. I said before all of this came to be that I wished UM would get the nod. If you guys were smart, you'd spend your time lobbying for a coach that could beat a Tressell coached OSU.

Urban Meyer seems like a good choice as a coach that can beat a Tre$$ell coached OSU.

There sure will be a bunch of folks feasting on crow when the Gators beat the Bucks and the Trojans defeat Michigan.

We're not talking about Boise State here, we're talking about 3 powerhouse schools. Tell me how previous rankings meant anything to OSU, UF, and UM. The only coaches who had a conflict were OSU, UF, and UM. To a reasonable person, Tressell not voting should be more than understandable.

I don't know what to say if you think this is "crying". If UM hadn't gotten in because they didn't deserve it, I'd be fine with it. But the fact of the matter is that most felt they did up until the final vote. Not playing for 2 weeks, having UF play more recently, and voting against a rematch all severely hurt UM's chances. And if it were in the rules, I'd be fine with it. Just let us know what exactly it is we're supposed to do so we can follow the rules. And please don't make whining in front of millions of people a requirement to make the NC, we all have too much class for that.

I agree. Their about to make a lifelong OSU fan cheer for the Gator upset.
