Best idea I've seen on the board all day.

I read earlier today on the Harris website that they'd make public how each of its voters voted in the 12/3 poll. It should be interesting to see who voted UF #1.

Each of the voters' rankings in the Harris poll can be found here:

I don't have the patience to click through all of them to find out who voted UF #1.

One interesting vote in the Harris poll: Larry Keech (whoever he is) voted the top 5 like this
1. OSU
2. Boise St.
3. scUM
4. Wisconsin
5. Florida

Everybody is saying that the voters were trying to work the system to get the matchup they wanted, but what about the AP? That poll had no influence on the BCS and they picked Florida #2 as well.

And the unbiased computers were split. Where IS this argument that Michigan is clearly #2?

Acute observation. I was surprised by it too. Initially, it wasn't that big of an issue, but IMO, a certain Buckeye QB made it into a huge f**ing issue. Besides him and Doug Flutie, there weren't many out there clamoring for a rematch.

What is the big deal with LSU and Notre Dame????

Both have two loses and are in the BCS.

Can't figure out why LSU is ranked 4th with two loses.

I don't know the whole thing behind having 3 teams from one conference in the BCS, but I would think that Wisky and even Auburn to some extent would be higher than Notre Dame.

I know Wisky didnt have the toughest schedule, but their only lose was to Michigan @ the Big house...

5. Boise St.

I can only hope he voted that way to give Florida some extra points and pass scUM, and not because he honestly thinks they are better...
