Now We Turn Our Attention to the Coaches

Yes, the Wiz has been poking fun at the likes of Rocket Ismail and Pat Haden for their strange voting patterns in the Harris Poll. Now in the interest of accountability, we present you the coaches. They were basically forced to make their votes public for the first time and you can get a look here. ... Wow, where do we begin. OK, let's take Jim Tressel, pictured from his championship days. Tressel's top four: USC, Texas, Penn State and ... Ohio State! Tressel was not alone. Crewcut Charlie Weis, Mike Bellotti and Tommy Tuberville also voted their teams No. 4. This is like Congress voting itself a pay raise! Then you have plain stupidity. Houston Nutt left West Virginia off his ballot. Confronted with the news, he issued an apology. They tend to hold on to such things in West Virginia (ever hear of this Hatfield and McCoy feud?). Maybe if Nutt can ever get his team bowl eligible again, it could play the Mountaineers.
