Many coaches don't even follow teams, so coaches is least legit poll
I wouldn't sweat the coaches poll too much. AP poll us better, but still biased, but those biases will probably always exist. They should be less once BYU joins the B12.

I'm sorry but it's flat out ridiculous BYU is being left out in any poll.

Might as well call it the Grad Assistant Coaches Poll - that’s what it is.

I actually love it. Gives the boys a chip on their shoulder and motivation.

Win games and that will change quickly. Can't be losing to teams like UAB at the end of the season if BYU wants more

It's amazing how many on here think that losing to UAB had no impact on this

True except that voters do care how “bad” UAB was. That’s why we lost respect.

It had an impact on the EOY ranking which has an impact on the preseason ranking

UAB was not a bad team (Sagarin rating of 66), finished 9-4

True. How many voters did even that research tho to see UAB's credible success?

This is true. If BYU goes 7-0 through the Arkansas game, BYU will be ranked in the top 8. Yes, for those that are

Funny how losing to San Diego state and Oregon State did nothing to hurt Utah. There’s def a bias.

Recency bias. Their last game was against #2 Ohio State, barely losing it.

BYU finished top 25 depsite the UAB loss and return thee most production in CFB. What has changed since that final poll?

Don't lose to UAB and don't have a crappy defense...

Unfortunately, defense will be crappy as long as Tuiaki remains on staff.
