Gotta love the coaches poll
ASU was 33rd in this last round of the coaches poll Only 4 coaches chose to vote for us. Hudspeth, McCarney, Malzahn, and George O'Leary at Central Florida. Rick Stockstill apparently was not impressed by our 45-0 beating of him yesterday and left us off.
The fun part is that Malzahn put ASU 17th, ahead of Northern Illinois, who will likely miss the BCS by fractions of a percentage point.

If Malzhan's vote keeps NIU out a BCS bowl he cost the Sun Belt some of that BCS money that would have been divided among all non-aq teams

All is fair in love and war. It probably wont work out anyway, but ASU would have gained more as a school if we had gone to Memphis.

Its all about voting for the teams that make you look better at this time of year. They don't really care about being accurate.

Correct. Big 12 coaches did the same thing, block voting NIU much lower than they should be.
thats why the whole system is so stupid.

Not sure. There would have to be unforseen shuffling because the open slots would be Independence and Pizza for LA Tech, MT, WKU, and CMU assuming Beef O BRady's takes a MAC with secondary tie in. Sun Belt team can't play ULM in Indy, and LA Tech already declined. If CMU gets in this is going to be a disaster.

The exact response if MTSU ever gets a bid. Got to root for the little guys or they stop giving us even one spot.

RE: Gotta love the coaches poll
Maybe Sun Belt works deal with Indy to take a MAC in exchange for giving up Beef O Brady tie in to MT. WKU to Detroit, LA Tech and CMU at home? We all go home happy . Wishful thinking I know.

I don't necessarily disagree...doesn't change the fact that I'll be surprised if FSU beats NIU by less than three touchdowns.
