I didn't see a whole helluva lot wrong with his ballot to be honest.

Agreed...if they can't be honest, they should not vote.

There are 24 spots on the AA team, right? the 22 usual suspects and two special teamers, I think...

So 25% of the top 24 players in the nation are on one above average team? How can that be remotely true?

If it is, the other 18 starters on VT must REALLY suck.

Yeah, I kinda struggle with that. Honestly, though I hate them, USC would be the ONE team who could REMOTELY pretend to have that many AA's...but even they don't.

Yes it's biased, but at some positions you feel you really know a kid and his potential and what effort and ability he gives you day in and out and probably are more so inclined to vote him over kids you don't see all that much about. I'm sure you see a similar situation on ballots from other top tier programs....most likely worse at some places

Which is EXACTLY why coaches shouldn't be allowed to vote for their own players.

Even MLB won't allow managers to vote for their own players for golden gloves.
