Man you don't get to hear the amount of passion these guys are talking with very much from the heads...

It's almost hard to watch though cause I feel like I'm watching a friend argue with his father...

I cant fricking believe we allow these talking heads to determine who gets a shot at the title. It really is a joke.

Of all the things going on in our country today these guys at ESPN sure do think that their job is much more important than it is. The best comment though earlier was when the NFL analyst said that NFL football was now all about the fans instead of the players. I'm pretty sure the fans are the only reason sports exists at the level they do in our country. ESPN is getting more over the top every year and the BCS show is just one other example.

craig james is a retard. in one sentence he says that the fans don't understand how we (voters) vote then in the next sentence he ranks 1 loss stanford ahead of lsu. gee, i think you're right we don't understand how you vote!

AP is irrelevant, that unless you think a head football coach at a Div 1 university thinks Kirk Herbstriet knows more about football than he does.

This. The griping about the AP voters is pointless since that poll is longer part of the BCS formula.

The show is weak, I just want to see the rankings. But ESPN wants to make a Buck.

You left out the part where he couldn't explain exactly what the criteria was for him to vote but only explained how everyone is different.

He basically reinforced what the criticism is.

Yeah, I'm sure every coach sits down and watches every single Div 1 FBS game. Media perception has nothing to do with the way they vote at all, I'm sure.

Wouldn't matter if every coach did sit down and watch. Many of the "coaches" votes are an assistant or a sports information director.
