Any SEC coach but I'd lay my vbucks on Spurrier. He's never forgotten the Cheerios Bowl where he made snide remarks about ND being unqualified for selection to the '92 Sugar Bowl and then UF got hammered by The Bus & Company. Since then Spurrier consistently ranks ND lower.

The coach's poll is perhaps a bigger joke than the other polls. It is just a good thing the state of Florida is not in charge of the polling stations.

Source?

The Coaches Poll is secret.

Besides, there were First Place Votes that ND did not get. Two went to ALA and 1 to UGA obviously ND had to be as least 2nd twice. Considering the promo for the SEC Championship Game I wouldn't be suprised if UGA was second to ALA where ALA was voted #1 and ALA was second where UGA was voted #1.



The AP Poll is public and ND got all the First Place Votes. Probably because the AP voters all believe that right and they don't have Conference Revenue Sharing which should preclude any voter from participating.

You can see the AP ballot distribution (highest lowest) here:

Coaches Poll Voters

Coaches Poll Voters

Brady Hoke could have voted ALA #1 as his team faced both ALA and ND. He is a Coaches Poll Voter that has faced both teams. I'll still lay my money on an SEC Coach as there are 7 of them out of the 59 voters.

BTW, for the joke mentioning Charlie Weis, he does not have a vote this year.


List of Voters
The USA TODAY Board of Coaches is made up of 59 head coaches at Bowl Subdivision schools. All are members of the American Football Coaches Association. The board for the 2012 season:
David Bailiff, Rice; Frank Beamer, Virginia Tech; Tim Beckman, Illinois; Bret Bielema, Wisconsin; Terry Bowden, Akron; Art Briles, Baylor; Troy Calhoun, Air Force; Matt Campbell, Toledo; Gene Chizik, Auburn; Dave Christensen, Wyoming; Mark Dantonio, Michigan State; Tim DeRuyter, Fresno State; Dave Doeren, Northern Illinois; Sonny Dykes, Louisiana Tech; Jimbo Fisher, Florida State; Kyle Flood, Rutgers; James Franklin, Vanderbilt; Al Golden, Miami (Fla.); Todd Graham, Arizona State; Jim Grobe, Wake Forest; Darrell Hazell, Kent State; Brady Hoke, Michigan; Dana Holgorsen, West Virginia; Skip Holtz, South Florida; Mark Hudspeth, Louisiana-Lafayette; Curtis Johnson, Tulane; Ellis Johnson, Southern Miss; Butch Jones, Cincinnati; Brian Kelly, Notre Dame; Mike Leach, Washington State; Pete Lembo, Ball State; Tony Levine, Houston; Mike London, Virginia; Rocky Long, San Diego State; Dan McCarney, North Texas; Mike MacIntyre, San Jose State; Ruffin McNeill, East Carolina; Gus Malzahn, Arkansas State; Bronco Mendenhall, BYU; Les Miles, LSU; George OLeary, Central Florida; Paul Pasqualoni, Connecticut; Bo Pelini, Nebraska; Chris Petersen, Boise State; Joker Phillips, Kentucky; Paul Rhoads, Iowa State; Mark Richt, Georgia; Mike Riley, Oregon State; Rich Rodriguez, Arizona; Nick Saban, Alabama; Steve Sarkisian, Washington; Frank Solich, Ohio; Steve Spurrier, South Carolina; Rick Stockstill, Middle Tennessee; Bob Stoops, Oklahoma; Dabo Swinney, Clemson; Jeff Tedford, California; Tommy Tuberville, Texas Tech; Kevin Wilson, Indiana.

How does a coach gain a vote? I mean that list is a little less than half of all coaches. Is it randomized each year or what?

ND was not second on all of the ballots where they weren't first. You can tell that just from how many points they got. Unanimous #1 is 1475, we got 1469, which means we were 6 positions away from perfect on three non first votes. Either all three voted us third, or someone had us below third and at least one voter had us second. Either way, it's bullshit homerism.
