This makes zero sense.

There is some dumb-dumb this morning.

They earned more votes than any other conference because they have won the NC by the help of a vote they already have had a majority in - that very vote which decides who plays for the NC - and so they deserve to get more help to get them back in the title game because they've won the most based on that help from the vote!

So it's circular. Gotcha. If anything, the other conferences need to be at least at level the playing field in terms of votes.

This would be a nonissue if Kiffin had not lied about his vote in the first place.

And here I was thinking our superior football teams were the reason we've won 6 titles in a row, not the coaches poll. Thanks for clearing that up

yes, it is circular. it is an opinion poll and opinion polls are based on group-think and conventional wisdom.

FWIW before that bias was on the SEC's side it was on Southern Cal's side (from at least 2003-2005) but I doubt you had a problem with that
