The truth of the matter is nobody is fooled by this. No one thinks Nick Saban is voting for Troy or App State. First loss and all these teams are gone until later in the season when/if they get the 10th or 11th win. Ergo this whole point about CUSA coaches voting for conference mates in the preseason is rather pointless.

bull****. you would but not me. Just as you did in the fans poll.

I would be saying the same even if it was Middle. As a coach you have very little control over how others view your team or the conference they play in. Coaches voting in these polls should use that vote as a tool for the conference. Especially when it wouldn't be a hinky vote to begin with. This Western team won more games (by a large point spread) than all G5 schools over the last 2 years. All but 1 last year.

The same coaches voted Western as the #1 team in the east so it wouldn't have been a out of this world vote to use their vote and put Western in their top 25. Not any more so than the coaches putting 5 AAC in their top 25. Even a Houston team that is replacing their coach and all world QB...

who was also their top runner

Uh no. I called out the homerism only after you had called out others for doing it. I wasn't being a whiny little ***** because my team didn't get voted in a certain way. That soley belongs to your right now. Own it.
