Final College Football Polls reveal Big 10 bias…still
Posted by James Caldwell on January 9, 2007
How in the name of all that is right with the world is Michigan still in the Top 10 of the final AP and Coaches’s poll after they were embarrassed and shown up by USC in the Rose Bowl? Fortunately, the voters had the good sense of dropping Notre Dame clear past the Top 15. Yet, Ohio St. remained #2 after being chomped (that will be today’s over-used word of the day) by Florida in the title game. LSU came in third, which begs the question of whether LSU needed to put 60 on the board against Notre Dame to convince voters that Big 10/Midwest football (Ohio St., Michigan, and Notre Dame) was severely over-rated this season. In any event, here is the final Top 15.
