The debate over whether or not to reveal who voted for whom in the NCAA College Football Coaches Poll rages on. Conspiracy theorists believe that some voters dropped Cal to below 6th in the coaches poll to pave the way for Texas to go to the Rose Bowl. Since the coaches poll is secret, we'll never really know for sure. In the end, Texas ended up being the better team but it's still a shitty way to win a bowl bid.

I'm of the mind that the coaches poll should be scrapped completely. First of all, the coaches don't really even vote. They are busy coaching their team and usually delegate it down to an underling who doesn't likely watch any games to know if Louisville is better than Boise State or not. Second, the poll is secret which opens it up to tinkering like what happened this year. When it came time to send teams to a bowl game, Cal took a sudden nose dive in the polls because the coaches favored Texas. Third, with the BCS likely doing things by committee from here on out, what's the point of having a second poll any way? We already have the AP which is definitely the superior of the two.
