DiNardo, Gerry

Im sure this guy is going to have some quality insight

Well, if you ever listen to ESPN radio you'll be hearing his voice. ESPN radio is already booked for September 10 at the Horseshoe for the Texas game. Todd McShay, Gerry DiNardo, and Dave Revsine will be on-hand and on-air from Noon - 7PM. I have not heard what location they'll be setting up at, but ESPN radio usually goes to the Hall of Fame Cafe.

I doubt it. I agree with you in principle, but my guess is this new poll will be directly tied to the BCS, exactly how the USA Today Coaches Poll is. Whoever wins the BCS title game will be declared number one in both polls. If this is not the case, then you are 100% correct, and there will be more split national titles. But again, my guess is that this new poll is a piece of the BCS, and therefore they must do exactly what the BCS tells them to.

the "new" poll does yes. but the media does not! if you think for a second that the media is going to stop doing their own top 25 your nuts. and any time there are 3 undefeated teams going into bowl season you can bet that the media is going to pick the team the bcs leaves out as their #1. the media is doing what they are doing out of pure self interest. not only is what they are doing not helping the kids playing, but it will actually end up being very harmful because of all the fighting they have every intention of causing.
