2 points in the Coaches' Poll
http://sportspolls.usatoday.com/ncaa/foo...ches-poll/
On a side note, South Alabama, at 3-2 with losses to Georgia Southern and Louisiana-Lafayette (who's lost to Tulane & New Mexico State), also received 2 points. The Belt's even better at ballot-stuffing than CUSA right now.

RE: 2 points in the Coaches' Poll
Correct Reggie. We got two points. Which could mean we got 2 votes at #25 or 1 at #24

RE: 2 points in the Coaches' Poll
A school gets 1 point for being #25 on someone's ballot, 2 points for being #24 on a ballot, etc., on up to 25 points for being #1. The released poll is the result of adding up everyone's point totals and ranking them accordingly. 2 points could be 2 votes, both at #25, or it could be just 1 vote at #24.
There. You learned something today. Think of this thread as your own personal ABC After School Special.

RE: 2 points in the Coaches' Poll
It's explained right there in the poll release, Dr. Hawking.
Quote:HOW THE POLL WORKS
The Amway Coaches Poll is conducted weekly throughout the regular season using a panel of head coaches at FBS schools. The panel is chosen by random draw, conference by conference plus independents, from a pool of coaches who have indicated to the American Football Coaches Association their willingness to participate. Each coach submits a Top 25 with a first-place vote worth 25 points, second place 24, and so on down to one point for 25th.

The guy will never admit being wrong. Cant wait for him to continue to deny that you were right from the beginning and he had it wrong. Like a petulant child.
Anyway, we should get a handful more next week with a win. Lsu is much better without miles so not feeling near as good about that game now. Would still be nice going in there 5-1 if we can handle our business this Saturday.

RE: 2 points in the Coaches' Poll
This is why I have no sympathy for nugget when people attack him for his BS. He knows he's wrong. Just like he's been wrong a hundred times the last several years. Yet he still shows up with BS like this and accuses everyone else of being stupid. The guy is a troll.

RE: 2 points in the Coaches' Poll
...nobody refer's to a team getting "points" in a poll....I've never heard a person who knows football say such a queer thing....SM got vote's in the poll...The correct way to refer to a team is "they received votes"....nobody say's points...except for some of you people....cause you're stupid.
learn more about football.....or go to bgn and donate to Ham Lanny to support his BBQ pork eating habit.
Nugget slam dunks over your tiny little heads....2 Points!!

if youre 65+ years old, you may still refer t it as votes. haha! knew he couldn't admit defeat. funny, the polls themselves refer to it as points, not votes. you rarely have any idea of what youre talking about. lol

RE: 2 points in the Coaches' Poll
A poll is somewhere you place your vote. One receives points for said votes. Dumb dumbs.

RE: 2 points in the Coaches' Poll
I just find it funny that NG didn't know how the point system worked with the polls. Figured most anyone following college football for years knew how they were calculated.

RE: 2 points in the Coaches' Poll
This is all so offensive to me and probably others as well...saying votes is racist and saying points is insensitive. I'm asking that you'll all be nice and maybe refer to them as "special ballots" when referring to those that Southern Miss receives. Thank you!

I'm not one to defend anyone here.....but I've NEVER called it "points" either. Nor have I ever looked into how the system works...mainly because I don't really give a sh*t. More times than not when you get one or two "points" or "votes" it's your own coach.

Correct. Always heard it to be "votes". If a coach ( or his designee ) voted for a team to be #1, then that team got 25 votes from that head coach.
