How about this?

46 coaches had USC ahead of scUM last week. Only 40 had scUM ahead of UF.

Looking at it like that I could very easily see UF picking up 40-50 votes this week and moving into #2 in at least that poll.

Same dynamic applies to the Harris. More votes "availible" after USC's loss than there was a gap between UM and UF.

So essentially it will come down to those few voters who made the difference for USC being #2 in both polls. 90-some in the Harris and 40-some in the Coaches.

I really think it will be UF now.

I hate scUM.

Good move on Coach's part. He sounded very wary of voting last night.

Kick ass! I was wondering last night whether JT votes, refuses to vote, or pulls a Joe Pa from 2003 and votes both #2T.

You called it.

iiiiinteresting

Tressel actually didn't vote! That's awesome.


Any idea when they'll release the rest of the coaches votes since this is the last poll?

 

[buckeyeboy]

Does anyone know when today the Harris poll will be released?

The temper tantrums on GBW over this issue are pretty loud.

 

[BuckWrestler141]

So with Florida winning the coaches poll and the USA Today poll, is it all but offical?

 

[fanaticbuckeye]

I believe it's the USA Today/Coaches poll. Not two seperate polls. The other poll we are waiting on is the Harris, since the AP no longer is factored in the BCS rankings.

The Coaches poll IS the USA Today poll. The other poll we're waiting for is the Harris.

Screw em.

They are too damn stupid to realize JT did them a favor...he already said he did not believe in non-conference champs playing for the title. Therefore, the intelligent human realizes who he WOULD HAVE voted as #2...

Dumbasses.

While this doesn't count for anything in the BCS, it does in this case further illustrate that many voters are jumping Florida over Meaty. Hmm, The Harris usually comes out at about 3:00, we'll see. . .
