I didn't know the coaches votes were so easily accessible through USA Today. Something is definitely rotten in Denmark. Very interesting post.

Actually, not all coaches even vote. Several years ago, Joe Paterno publicly stated that he lets one of his assistants vote for him because he doesn't have the time to fill out the ballot. I realize this wasn't the purpose of your entry, but you didn't even mention the writers poll. Does anyone think they are NOT biased? I'd like to see some results on how they vote. How many games do they really watch? Well said. Actually, not all coaches even vote.
