USA Today Coaches Poll: OU #3
Ah, fall. Just as the mosquitos returning to Waurika (swallows, Capistrano … it’s all I’ve got) signal a shift in the weather, there are those telltale signs that fall is finally here.
USA Today released their Coaches’ Poll today with OU a solid number 3 behind Jesus Tebow’s Gators and Colt McCoy’s Longhorns.
Tebow gets a bracelet for every 100 circumcisions.
Florida got 53 out of 59 first place votes, meaning six coaches just punched their express ticket to Hell. Texas had four coaches vote them number one, presumably Bob Stoops, Mike Leach, Kevin Sumlin and Bo Pelini. That’s right, Texas: Kevin Sumlin has a vote.
Interesting (that’s one way to put it) that after last year’s BCS-gate in the Big 12 South, Mack Brown decided to take his vote-picking and go home while Stoops picked up a pen again. Maybe somebody’s not quite getting the concept here.
Bottom line, for the top three contenders, seeding doesn’t really matter at this point. They all three have to go undefeated in order to get to the title game and obviously, one of them won’t. For now, OU will play the role of Mark Cavendish and wait for the leadout from the peloton before making a break at the sprint finish. What, no Tour de France fans here?
Texas starting at #2 ahead of the Sooners will surely shut them up until October, too.
