Death to the Coach’s Poll

It’s time that the college football world to wake up. This is the easiest argument I have ever made. The Top 25 Coaches Poll should be done away with. Why? Because the coaches only know two teams. They know their own team and they know their next opponent. Please tell me when do these “one game at a time” guys actually get to see another team play? They don’t. These guys are buried in practice and film watching for 16 hours a day. They don’t watch games like the writers or the fans do. And when they're not knee deep in game planning they are knee deep in recruiting. Recruiting is a year round sport. If a coach is eating and breathing bettering his football program there is no time left to sit down for 3 hours to watch a single game during the season. So again I’ll ask the question, what are they basing their votes on? ESPN News highlights?

Couldn't agree more. College football is about as bogus as boxing.
The one good thing I will say about College Football is at least they get the conference battles right. (Well the conferences with a championship game anyway; you hear me Big 10?)
I love my Hurricanes, but as long as computers and ill-informed humans are calling the shots, the game will remain flawed.
