Mack Brown BCS Talk is Cheap

Does anyone recall hearing some coaches this week talk about the BCS, their individual teams performances and their voting intentions in the USA Today Coaches Poll? Maybe you recall Texas coach Mack Brown touching on the subject in oh so minor detail when he said:

"I wasn't sure before, right now, in Friday morning I'm going to vote Texas No. 1 because I think this is the best team in the country"

I know, I know, Mack Brown wasn't very clear. He wasn't specific. When he said "I'm going to vote Texas No. 1" he meant "I'm going to vote for Florida". And then there is Pete Carrol. Maybe you recall Pete Carroll proclaiming his team the best int he country. But perhaps he meant otherwise when he said

"With all due respect, those are two great programs," USC coach Pete Carroll said of Florida and Oklahoma. "I don't think anybody can beat the Trojans.

But Pete Carroll doesn't vote in the Coaches Poll. So he's free to complain but, but doesn't have to put his money where his mouth is. Mack Brown on the other hand has no excuse. He does vote. And he said he'd vote Texas. but instead, he voted Florida. Only Kyle Whittingham of Utah did what he said he would: vote for the team he thought was #1...his own.
