I missed the news tonight and heard word of mouth something about ESPN dropping out of the coaches poll. Can anyone catch me up to date on the subject?
I've never been a fan of popularity polls. Without a playoff system the BCS is a joke.

ESPN Pulls Out of Football Coaches' Poll
Unlike the AP voters, the coaches' ballots have always been secret. ESPN asked this year that they be public, but the coaches agreed only for the final regular-season poll. Doria said ESPN wanted it for the entire year.
"We just felt that to be as ethical as we possibly could in this situation, that's what we needed to do," Doria said. "This wasn't a case of us questioning the ethics of the coaches or the validity of the voting. These things tend to create controversy. When there is some vetting to be done, it needs to be done thoroughly and we didn't feel it could be done."
