This is hilarious ... the American Football Coaches Association says it will begin in 2010 making the coaches' poll of top football teams a secret ballot. The funny part is they say it will make them more accountable.
This isn't just a glamour poll. It has a function in determining which teams qualify for Bowl Championship Series (BCS) games, including the national championship. Remember the animosity in past years over the teams selected? With this move, coaches with a vote (about half of them) or the ear of a coach with a vote may have some undue influence on the outcome and not have to answer for it.
I hope the BCS (which I don't like anyway; I'd prefer a playoff) will stand up to the coaches and remove their poll from the mix.
