I'm not going to slander/libel/whatever Larry Keech, but this man (apparently a former staff writer for the Greensboro, N.C., News & Record) needs to give up his Harris vote.
Here's his ballot. How is he wrong? Let me count the ways...
No. 1: Utah (here's the man who's been consternating me for weeks!)
No. 2: Boise State (better than Florida, huh?)
No. 5: Florida (see above)
No. 10: Ball State (the MAC runner-up, which lost to Buffalo?)
No. 18: Rice (really? above both teams who played in the C-USA championship?)
No. 20: Georgia Tech (ACC, represented at last!)
No. 23: Western Michigan (man with a thing for the MAC)
No. 24: East Carolina (uuuhhhh....)
No. 25: Tulsa (uuummmmm....)
Not the first time Keech has caused a stir -- see 2006. And there's already an "Official take away Larry Keech's vote" thread on Rivals.
In 2006, he explained himself this way:
"I try to minimize the subjectivity as much as possible therefore I went with teams that lost zero games at the top and then those that lost one game. And then I rank those that lost one higher if they lost to a team that was ranked higher at the time."Which is absolutely, completely ridiculous. And stupid, lazy and dropping the ball.
Over at USA Today, we see what the coaches made of this season. (Great Flash graphic, by the way.) A little wackiness,, but the coaches seem to for the most part take their job seriously.
Highlights:
Rick Neuheisel doesn't think much of Oklahoma (No. 4)
Howard Schnellenberger says Utah (No. 7) is ranked above USC (No. 8)
Gary Pinkel isn't excited by BCS busters (Utah, Boise State and TCU at 15-16-17)
Mike Leach loves him some Texas Tech (No. 2) but not so much Texas (No. 5). Not a surprise.
