Agreed although Mich was close a few years back

And this is where Matt's point that the voters don't get enough credit comes into play. With the exception of 2003, the only consequential polls are the last ones before the bowls. On these polls there are only a few consequential decisions (Who's #2 in the BCS, teams whose ranking determines a BCS bid). I believe the voters take these decisions very seriously and overall do a very good job.

That is the psychology that most people miss. That is why the LSU prediction LSU matt made (and I independently made to my mirror LOL) was a lock a few years back.

When push comes to shove the final vote will be taken very seriously and the right decisions will be made. 2 weeks out voters are just checking boxes. We were going to jump Ga and VT once they thought about it.

I am still a playoff guy though!
