It's starting to heat up...

Pete Carroll just got bumped out of Top 15.  Still, no sign of Jim yet.

Vote people!

...I can't believe Tressel is on there.  Is there a coach in history that has done so little with so much talent?

Until he loses I can't really complain too much.

I think the Tressel voters have a lot more explaining to do.

[Brad]

Leavitt doesn't even have 52 votes yet?

Come on people.

Got my vote for CJL in.

I've gotta agree with Smazza right here.

As much as I love Leavitt and building this program. He's gotta prove he can get around a Mid Season slump
