They aren't seeing anything..just completing their ballot. They aren't watching the games...basically going off names alone

Coaches poll doesn't drop teams if they don't lose

They just go chalk

it is common for coaches to let assistants fill those out, is it not?

Nah, O spends about 25-30 hours a week poring over numerous game replays to make a truly informed decision on this. I think Saban spends even more.

They see an ultra talented roster, with the best coaching that college football offers. They may also be aware that they rarely lose and they once again look pretty dominant. Some go by resume, some by history, and some by the eyeball test. Apparently Bama is appealing to their eyeballs.

Slightly less talent and Bama has the better coaching.

It literally doesn't matter.

Tomorrow the CFP rankings come out and they'll have LSU at #1. All other ranking systems will be irrelevant.

Like the rant, there are quite a few coaches that are jealous and don't like O's success. 2 of them coach at Texas and Texas A&M

Which is why Clemson still has 9 first place votes in the Coaches Poll.
