What he said about the Big East made me barf. Ok, it's one thing to recognize that they are a bad league and complain about it, but to say that Fresno State or UTEP deserve it just as much, if not more, than WVU? This guy knows absolutely nothing about college football! And he's calling the BCS a fraud while taking part in a poll that determines the outcome of the BCS, and not giving several teams the recognition they deserve. And having TCU at 11 is a bit high, especially when he has a 1 loss PSU team at 17. Geez, get a clue!

Maybe in order to be objective, the guy follows certain rules. Something along the lines of moving a team up only when those above them lose. Moving a team down 7 places when they lose. You get the idea. I think there are others who do the same thing, right?

Nah, he has TCU at 11 dude! They aren't that good. UTEP isn't in the top 25! I'm sure TAE, if he had a Harris poll vote, would take a lot more seriously.

I agree with everyone that this guy is a total wack job, but look at it this way. He is calling the BCS' bluff and making it the joke that it really is. Maybe this guy is silently revolting against the polls and the BCS and all the politicians in hopes of getting a playoff system in place. Hopefully, everyone with a vote will put Ohio U at the top. People who really want a playoff system who have the power to affect the polls should really consider this.

Once a Runner, I don't have a vote in the human polls! I know that I should, and I know you all think I should as well, but not yet.
