Have you ever been asked to complete the US News survey that is used to rank law schools? Do you try to game the system for the home team? Well, maybe a little bit, right?

What would you expect of college football coaches? Here is an interesting graphic showing how each coach with voting rights cast those votes in the final ballot.

Hmm, let's see. Jim Tressel? Ohio State is #1, a point on which 46 of the 60 coaches agree.

Les Miles? LSU is #1. (No way a Michigan man could vote for Ohio State!)

Frank Beamer? LSU beat Virginia Tech, so LSU must be #1. But Virginia Tech is #2.

Bob Stoops? Of course, Oklahoma is #1. (Biased you say? Not at all. Steve Spurrier agrees with him.)

The only other team with a #1 vote ; Hawaii. Thanks to Hal Mumme, coach of New Mexico State, which is also in the Western Athletic Conference.
