Coaches Poll to go completely confidential

The coaches poll makes no sense to begin with and then they make it confidential? Bad move.

Seriously! Why do they even have a coaches poll? The coaches have enough to worry about on their own team on a week to week basis, recruiting and scouting future opponents to give "informed" opinions of the best teams (and without bias) is ridiculous. Why can't the BCS adopt a system like Basketball has and just have a committee that watches tons of games and sits in a room for long periods of time debating who the best teams are. At least that would be better than silly polls that don't even include all of the D-1 coaches which would at least give us a larger sample size and hopefully reduce some bias.

I'd tend to say that many of the sportswriters are covering their own beat at one of the games which is a day long job in and of itself between watching the game, post game interviews and writing a story up before deadline. Unless you're some guy sitting in a studio all day with a million channels all showing games (and even then, how many can you actually pay attention to besides highlight footage). That's why you just need a group of people that all they do for a job is watch games, both as live action all day Saturday and the ones they miss they can watch during the week since it is, after all, their job. But, it's the BCS, so the things that make the most sense never actually happen.
