Of the COACHES POLL. That’s it. That’s all the agreement specified. Go back and read through your link again. That’s what it states.

I think you are misreading something...

North Carolina State coach Chuck Amato doesn't see a need for change.

''I will vote for the winner of the Sugar Bowl,'' he said. ''We voted to give the winner of the BCS game No. 1. I think we should stay with that.''

The coaches voted overwhelmingly in favor of giving their title to the BCS winner in 1998 and haven't wavered since.

''They only allow you to vote for 2 through 25,'' Cal coach Jeff Tedford said. ''It makes our poll insignificant (when it comes to) who we think the national champion is.''

''I would like to be able to vote for the team that I feel deserves the national championship, but, by the same token, we agreed to this system,'' Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said. ''Until it is changed, I think that is what we should do.

So you see, the coaches did NOT vote to have the coaches poll determine the champ. They voted for the BCS game winner to be the champ.

Big difference. Which I was saying all along.
