Yeah, I think people are confused when they hear it.

Week 10
ESPN Power Poll: Ole miss 10 auburn 7
committee: ole miss #4 auburn 3

You don't think, with the G5 rep specifically, that the committee might lean on ESPN for guidance because the committee knows that ESPN is going to have to televise whichever G5 champ the committee selects???

Yeah, he probably meant "separate list" out of the same poll, but he said "separate poll," and I repeated it, understanding the context, but not realizing how confusing it was, if you didn't read the article itself.

Maybe Dodd figured that out, too, b/c he deleted mention of it when he edited the article later.
