But's it's not clear that a 17-point win over Southern Miss would have helped, since what did the Bears in was -- as I understand it -- the handful of coaches who ranked Cal 8th or 9th, presumably to help Texas that much more. The coaches poll is a political exercise to start with, since we know that most coaches don't have the time to watch most games, and they won't release the voting, but that was just BS. Reasonable people can differ about whether Cal or Texas was #4 or #5, but those coaches who bounced Cal down in the final polling ought to be publicly exposed or humiliated in some way.
It wouldn't be the coaches. The ballots are filled out by Sports Information Directors. It would not surprise me if the changed ballots were all from the Big XII. I believe they share some of the BCS revenue.
