I posted this message at the first of the week, and there have not been
any responses in the newsgroup.  Did something get messed up and the message
not get distributed or does NOBODY in the group know the answer???

<PREVIOUS MESSAGE FOLLOWS-edited>

Exactly who votes in the AP college football poll?  I know that it is 
sportscasters and writers, but do the same ones vote each week?  Also, if
the SAME ones do NOT vote each week, then how are the pollsters selected.
If the same ones DO vote each week, does anyone have a list of voters?
Also, how does the poll itself work?  Does a team get a certain number
of points based on where each pollster places them, and then the
points are added and the teams are ranked by points?  Is it more 
complicated than that...just what's the deal???

Thanks for any answers...

Probably not.  Rumor has it that they don't get along particularly well.
Also, there was a quote from Terry Bowden during the new conference to
the effect that when Auburn hired him as head coach, they had hired
their offensive coordinator.  Seems *all* the Bowdens see themselves
as offensive coordinators.  One more reason Tommy Bowden probably won't
stay; I think Auburn has an unofficial mandate from the NCAA to "clean
house" so, although Tommy Bowden isn't implicated by the Ramsey charges,
he probably has to go as part of the previous regime.  I hope I'm wrong
about that, though; I'd sure like to see Wayne Hall stay (although he
might be pissed that he wasn't considered more seriously for the head
coach job).

   The Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl was last held in Houston at the Astrodome
in 1987 as Texas defeated Pitt.  Pitt is still owed $140,000 from this bowl;
I presume they've given up trying to collect the money by now.

Not sure if my first attempt made it... here is my second...

Thank you!  Not really being in Wisconsin anymore (I'm in Illinois),
these posts are really helpful...  In the Chicago Sun Times it says:

WISCONSIN UPDATE: St. Rita wide receiver Tony Simmons' decision to attend
Wisconsin was seen as a major coup for Badger coach Barry Alvarez.
  Wisconin needed a big-name player early," Lemming sayd.  "Simmons
gives them a marquee name, like Illinois getting Hecklinski.  Big names
are hard to get early.  But everyone wants them because other kids will
follow.  It adds legitimacy to the program."
  The Badgers, who are seeking skilled players, also are recruiting 
Roberson, Morris QB Todd Schultz, WRs Toriano Woods of Munt Carmel,
Marquis Mosely of Bloomington and Reggie Torian of Thornwood and TE
Matt cushing of Mount Carmel.
  They also are seeking versatile Carl McCullough of St. Paul, Minn., one
of the nation's top 10 prospects who also is considering Florida State,
Miami, Texas and Minnesota, and the top 3 players in Wisconsin--Smith,
linebacker Brian Flanigan of Brussels and lineman Todd Halbur of
Wisconsin Rapids.

ILLINI UPDATE: Illinois received an oral commitment from the best OL
in Iowa, Corey Ryan (6-6,250) of Bettendorf.  Joliet Catholic
defensive lineman Mark Day is leaning to Illinois but plans to
visit Wisconsin.

Well, it may not be clear, but it is true.  So is the situation you discribe 
below:

>The rights to any particular game are owned by the home team.  If Notre Dame 
>were to play at Georgia Tech, for instance, and the CFA networks (ABC/ESPN)

>of the rights as the home team.

As I understand it, this is how the conflicts were worked out.  When the Big 
and Pac Tens struck their deal with CBS and the CFA struck its deal with ABC, 
it was very unclear as to who would have the rights to the ND/USC game (which 
is only one such example.  This kind of conflict must come up all the time.)  
In the end, it was decided that CBS would cover the game under the auspices of 
the Big Ten/Pac Ten contract.  My guess is that some compensation was necessary
to the CFA/ABC.  However, had CBS decided to decline their rights to cover the 
game, the rights would have gone to ABC under the CFA deal much as you point 
out in the ND/GaTech example.  And it might be different if USC has some kind 
of deal (which they may) with soemthing like PRIME . . .

It's a goofy thing, television rights.  Hell, some schools have enough trouble 
just counting the downs!

You FSU guys whine, year in and year out that FSU was really better than
Miami, but they just lost the close one.  *IMHO* I don't think your

	I was thinking more of the nine wins...as in it's been that long since
we've won that many.
	And that is from the era where 9-3 wasn't good enough :).  So 9-3
(although it should have been 10-2,11-1,12-0 :) isn't good enough, nor will be
9-2-1.
	Okay, who can coach the Buckeyes to 10-12 wins every year?

I guess if this happens, there wouldn't be much of a chance of Auburn and FSU

Actually, the odds would be (I'm trusting you on this one) 5 out of 32
that Miami would win 4 out of 5 games, assuming both are even, and the
games are played with the exact same players, during the same year.
Otherwise, the odds are 1 out of 2, since each year the teams have
somewhat different personnel due to graduation and injuries.

Yeah, I think it was in Tampa, FL.  If it was in the 40's, it would have to
have been the late 40's because FSU was invited to play in it once.  Not
much of a football team at FSU (FSCW) prior to about 1945, but what a 
cheerleading squad! ;-)  ;-)  ;-)

You didn't say whre these guys are going, but I assume by the "Go Buffs" in you

FWIW, every player I've seen from De La Salle has lived up to expectations.

They are not necessarily the stars, but they play with intensity, particularly
in the big games.  De La Salle is one of the top football high schools in California.

Raleigh for the 1986 season, Sheridan has rejected offers from Arizona, South
Carolina, Georgia, and now, Auburn.  According to the report, Sheridan removed
his name because of potential problems with current Wolfpack recruits and Gator
Bowl preparation.  Many see Sheridan's continued committment to the Wolfpack as
an indicator of his high level of committment to the NC State program.  This
season, the Wolfpack finished the season with a 9-2-1 record and will face
the University of Florida Gators in the Gator Bowl on December 31 in
Jacksonville, Florida.  Since the Wolfpack finished the season ranked higher
than the Gators, State will be the home team for the game.  Over past years
when Florida coach Steve Spurrier was at Duke, he and Sheridan had some
classic high scoring matchups.  Best of luck to Coach Sheridan and the 'Pack
as they attempt to finish in the top 10 for the first time in school history.
To all you State fans on the net, I'll see you in Jacksonville!

GO PACK!
