The release dates for the 2010 preseason USA Today Coaches'
Poll and AP Poll have been obtained by Pollspeak:
Neither poll plans any changes in voter guidelines or
process for the 2010 season. Of course, that means no public coaches'
ballots on a weekly basis. To express your desire to see public ballots,
please sign the PETITION.

Coaches
Won't Vote For USC This Year (posted
7/8/10)
The USA Today is reporting that the University of Southern
California will not be allowed on ballots in the 2010 USA Today Coaches Poll.
This is consistent with the American Football Coaches Association's policy of
withholding votes for programs under "major NCAA sanctions."

section.

Pollspeak included Good Voter of the Week so fan voting
doesn't have to be seen as only a negative thing, but it has been proven time
and again that there is a lot more interest in complaining than praising when it
comes to college football polls.

FOOTBALL
section.

Coaches
Agree to Release Final Ballots (posted
11/8/09)
In January, the American Football Coaches Association had
voted to no longer release their ballots for the final week of the regular
season. Historically, this is the only time the public can see how the
coaches are voting, which is a far cry from what we actually want -- public
ballots every week. Yet, the AFCA decided to make these ballots
private as well. On Friday, they reversed this decision (likely due to
pressure from the conferences and the BCS). You can read their press
release
HERE. While this is good news, we will continue to push for public
ballots every week of the season. If you haven't already, please sign the
PETITION.

Sport Illustrated's online division, SI.com, reports that it will be using
the Freedom of Information Act to force the hands of coaches who work for public
universities to make their ballots public. This could be great news for
college football fans. Read about it in the

section.
With the 2009 preseason polls looming, this is a good time
to look back at 2008’s preseason polls and see what we learned. We use
last year's preseason pariah, Taylor Zarzour, as our case study. Did his
AP ballot actually deserve all the criticism?
How did Zarzour really do?
Was he prophetic? Find out in the FOOTBALL

Ever wonder
how voters are chosen and what they’re instructed to do?

We contacted officials at the Associated Press (AP Poll), USA Today, American

category. Let’s see how they like
