Mark Blaudschun, respected national college football writer for The Boston Globe is reporting that Coach Jim Tressel "was caught in a lie" when voting in the first regular-season coaches' poll ballot, "which makes his credibility an issue. Apparently, Tressel stated that he voted Texas No. 1 but, in fact, cast his ballot for his own team apparently as part of his "psychological preparation for tomorrow night's game against the Longhorns in Austin, Texas." While USA Today, which publishes the poll, keeps the voting secret, its policy is - as agreed to with the American Football Coaches Association - to make a coaches' vote public unless their is a discrepancy and they know it to be inaccurate. In other words, when a coach lies. "Either Tressel is not telling the truth or he didn't cast a vote with his name on it. Both are unacceptable and USA Today should strongly consider taking away Tressel's vote in the poll."

There is also an interesting story about Joe Paterno, entitled Off Limits At Penn St.[/B]which begins Buckeyegate was only one of a series of incidents that makes you wonder what color the sky is in the world of college football coaches.
In another, entitled, Storm brewing, he talks about Miami coach Larry Coker's "strangest plea of the week"
I wonder what Coach Steve Spurrier's coaches poll ballot looked like. Where did he rank Notre Dame? Did he still have Duke in the Top 25, despite their 13-0 loss to Division 1-AA Richmond last week?
Finally, his Game of Week comments Notre Dame 27, Penn State 14. Charlie Weis said the Irish need to play better to maintain their lofty ambitions. Consider it done.
