Every week (or at least close to it), we try to hold the AP voters accountable for the trash that some of them call NCAA football rankings. Sometimes the guys have questionable ballots, and sometimes they're just flat out wrong. This is where we call them out on it.

Like I said last week, the one thing that I believe is paramount at this point is Alabama getting the #1 vote. Whether or not they're the best team in the country, or whether they would be the favorites in a game against anyone else on a neutral site, they've played as tough a schedule as almost anyone else in the country, and they've come out flawless so far, unlike everyone else except for mid-majors Utah, Boise State and Ball State. There's really no way Alabama can be anything but #1, until they lose. That may happen against Florida on Saturday, but it hasn't happened YET. See where I'm going with this?

There were 3 voters who voted someone else (Florida in all 3 cases) as the #1 team. Scott Wolf and Jeff White had the Crimson Tide at #2. The 3rd perpetrator is Jon Wilner. His ballot is the screwiest of the three of them, as he has Alabama all the way down at #4, behind the Gators, and then Texas and Oklahoma.

While a Florida win in the SEC Championship will basically vindicate these guys, I think it's important to give Alabama the credit they deserve for now, and acknowledge the only remaining undefeated team in the BCS conferences.

The AP voters had some real difficulties with some teams, Utah and USC in particular.

While some voters (Jim Lamar and John Silver) had USC all the way up at #3, others had them as far down as #7 (Mike Hlas, Ray Ratto). Personally, I'd lean more towards putting them at #3 than #7, but it's not shocking to see the disparity there, considering the uncertainty at the top. The consensus for USC was #5, as a vast majority of voters had them there, behind the Alabama-Florida-Texas-Oklahoma group.

Utah was also a point of contention for the voters. While Mike Strain, Joe Giglio and Mike Hlas each had the Utes at #5, there were 7 guys who had them all the way down at #9, and Jeff McLane even had them at #10, despite their undefeated season.

But if McLane thinks that's bad, take a look at the Harris Poll. Someone there is still voting Utah #1. That's one of the polls that actually influences the BCS, like the Coaches poll, where Mack Brown may have helped cost his team a shot at the Big 12 title game.

Jeff Sagarin's ratings also are included in the BCS. In case you were wondering, his computer has Alabama at #4, and James Madison at #24.

By the way, a random kudos to Myron Patton. His votes are usually the epitome of failure. While I think he shafted Texas Tech a little bit, he wasn't too bad overall. Way to suck less than normal, Byron.

We all know that the BCS has its problems, but is it any worse than the AP voters? Probably not. Any beefs with the voters? Check out all their votes here, and let us know.
