And now here we are.  The final entry.  Part 3.

How coaches from one conference vote for various conferences

I only looked at the six BCS conferences here because I have to imagine you don’t care very much about the differences in voting between the Sun Belt and Conference-USA.

There’s not a whole lot to say here, it shows up pretty much how you’d expect.  Conferences rank their members higher, rank conferences close to them hire (ACC and SEC, Big 12 and Big Ten) and rank teams who are toss-ups with their own much lower (Big East ranking Florida 6th).  I think that the Pac-10 wins “Worst voter” award, although the ACC is pretty close thanks to the breadth of bad votes (mostly due to Bobby Bowden).

I hope you’ve learned this by now, but click the pictures to get a full sized version.

And one final little nugget, a breakdown of how the top 25 would shake out under each conferences voting patterns.  The numbers to the right of the team are the number of points they earned.
