RT @DaneBeavers: Bob Stoops voted Oklahoma No. 6 and Northern Illinois No. 24: LINK #Sooners

Oklahoma was 11 last week and beat an unranked TCU by 7

Northern Illinois was 21 and beat 17 Kent State

Stoops wants that BCS Bowl Bid

Every MAC coach should vote NIU as number 1 so that they can get the revenue NIU would bring in as a BCS team.

Yep. That's why Saban and Richt didn't even include Florida in their ballots. Cause BCS is all that matter when voting.

Curious to see where Stoops had those teams ranked last week. BTW I think TCU would beat both Northern Illinois & Kent State.

Neither do Wisconsin, Rutgers, or Oklahoma really, so why not NIU?

Besides the conflict of interest problem, how about the fact that coaches don't watch the games. How can they vote with any reliability on teams they don't even watch play.

AT least the AP people are likely watching more of the games. The new playoff system should try to get the AP poll back in the formula.

yes, he should not be voting since he and his team have too much to gain.

That's not for you or Bob Stoops to decide.

I wonder if the assistants that fill these out even watch the games?

Oklahoma does. They ended up tied for the BIG 12 title. Why the hell not?
